Nurse to face fitness-to-practise claims
19th August 2011A nurse who helped care for older people in a specialist hospital is the subject of 15 complaints about his work and will attend a conduct-and-competence committee hearing to answer the allegations against him.
Nicanor Sindandum was a grade-D nurse at Woodend Hospital in Aberdeen which cares for and treats older patients.
Allegations of misconduct relate to him working at the NHS Grampian hospital from October 2006 to January 2008.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council will consider claims that he gave one patient a month’s worth of medication in a single week; that he handed one patient a salt cellar instead of their inhaler; and that he kept feeding one individual who was choking.
Mr Sindandum, who no longer works for the health board, is scheduled to appear at the hearing in London on September 20.
