Nursing and midwifery – Professional conduct. Court of Session: Allowing an appeal against a decision of the Nursing and Midwifery Council's Conduct and Competence Committee, which found the appellant guilty of serious misconduct and issued a striking off order, the court held that the appellant's representation in connection with the proceedings before the committee was inadequate and that the committee erred in law by accepting the methodology the respondents relied on to identify the person said to be responsible for taking drugs from the ward where the appellant worked without authorization.
