Case Study
HCPC Interim Panel Hearing - incompetence
I represented [April 2018] a radiographer referred to the HCPC for incompetence in their sonography practice. They were new to the practice of diagnostic ultrasound in the UK, having qualified abroad. The HCPC applied for an interim order restricting the registrant's practice. As a result of my representations, which included a detailed commentary on the referrer's documentation, the panel imposed minimal conditions of practice on my client's sonography practice, leaving them able to practise general radiography without restriction.
Testimonial
I can't thanks enough to Mr Marc Walker who helped me through a long and stressful process which lasted 3 years after I have been referred to NMC. His professionalism, attitude and advice helped me regain my PIN back without no condition of practice or any other restrictions. I would gladly recommend Mr Walker to anyone who need help through the stressful times of their professional careers.
