Suspended from practice· 9 months
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that registered nurse Patience Kandenga, while caring for a vulnerable child at home in March 2021, made inaccurate records, failed to follow the care plan, used her phone and slept on a waking shift, and acted dishonestly about the records she created. The panel decided her fitness to practise is currently impaired and imposed a 9-month suspension order with a review, plus an 18-month interim suspension order.
