    The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a 12-month suspension on Karen Jane Makinson after finding she attended work under the influence of alcohol and unfit to practise safely. Two allegations of incorrect medication stock counts were not proved. The panel found impairment but considered the misconduct potentially remediable and striking off disproportionate. The suspension will be reviewed, with an interim suspension covering the appeal period.
