Suspended from practice· 6 months
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Shelley Rossiter, a senior nurse at Northampton General Hospital, accessed the clinical records of family members and family members of colleagues without authority or clinical justification on many occasions over a five-year period. The panel found there was no actual harm to patients but the conduct was a serious breach of the duty of confidentiality. It found her fitness to practise impaired on public interest grounds and imposed a six-month suspension order with review. No interim order was made.
