A Vernon nurse has been suspended for six months for accessing the medical records of people with whom he had no professional connection.
A 小蓝视频 College of Nurses & Midwives inquiry panel found that Michael Wood had accessed medical files he did not need to access, had failed to document all client interactions, and had not worked scheduled hours.
Further, a second decision found Wood had been disrespectful towards colleagues and had failed to follow workplace mileage requirements.
