The appellant, a former registered nurse, Miss Christina Christian appealed against an order of the Nursing and Midwifery Council Conduct and Competence Committee to strike her off as a registered nurse and to impose an interim suspension order. The effect of the latter is to suspend the nurse from practice immediately following pronouncement of the order until the expiration of a period of time or the disposal of any appeal, whichever is the later. As a necessary part of its decision the committee found that the appellant’s fitness to practice was impaired.
