Struck off the register
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Shona Mary Ovenstone, a registered nurse who ran an aesthetics clinic in Fife, dishonestly administered Botox to a patient in March and April 2024 using a prescription intended for another patient, reused the same vial after 13 days against single-use instructions, failed to keep adequate records, and breached her duty of candour by not telling the patient what had happened. The panel imposed a striking-off order with an 18-month interim suspension order during the appeal period.
