The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) appealed the decision made by the panel of the Conduct and Competence Committee at this hearing.

The High Court ordered:

respect of the Second Respondent dated 3 April 2024 is quashed.

3. The Court substitutes for the Committee’s decision of 3 April 2024 the following
Conditions of Practice Order to take effect from the date of sealing of this Order for a
period of four months:

Registrant’s Conditions of Practice Order in respect of the Second Respondent for a
period of four months from the date of the sealing of this order.
CONDITIONS OF PRACTICE:
1. You must produce a written reflective piece using a reflective tool (such as the
Gibbs cycle). This should set out what you have learned from the incidents that
gave rise to the HCPC hearing, including any learning you have gained through
your Specialist Skills and Post Registration Development since the incidents.

Person") who is a team leader or manager within the department at your place

your employer's policies and procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, your
practice does not require constant oversight.

3. The Named Person should confirm your adherence to policies and procedures,
conflict management and communication with colleagues. This confirmation of
adherence to policies, good communication with colleagues and appropriate
management of conflict must be submitted to the HCPC no later than 5 working
days before a Review hearing.

5. You must inform the HCPC within 5 days whenever you take up any
employment in the role of a registered ODP.

Conditions of Practice:

time of application) and
