ORDER: The Registrar is directed to replace the Interim Suspension Order with the following Interim Conditions of Practice Order for the remainder of the term of the current order: -

1. You must place yourself and remain under the supervision of a workplace supervisor registered by the HCPC and supply details of your supervisor to the HCPC within 7 days of your appointment as a Biomedical Scientist. You must attend upon that supervisor as required and follow their advice and recommendations. For the avoidance of doubt, this condition does not require direct supervision.

3. In respect of the records of training towards your competencies in your role as a Biomedical Scientist, these must be signed by your supervisor and you must:

A. provide a copy of these records to the HCPC on a monthly basis, the first report to be provided within 28 days of your appointment;

B. make those records available for inspection at all reasonable times by any person authorised to act on behalf of the HCPC.

4. You must promptly inform the HCPC if you cease to be employed by your current employer or take up any other or further employment or engagement.

5. You must promptly inform the HCPC of any disciplinary proceedings taken against you by your employer.

You must inform the following parties that your registration is subject to these conditions:

A. any organisation or person employing or contracting with you to undertake professional work;

B. any agency you are registered with or apply to be registered with (at the time of application); and

C. any prospective employer (at the time of your application).

6. You will be responsible for meeting any and all costs associated with complying with these conditions. Any condition requiring you to provide any information to the HCPC is to be met by you.
