NHS Fife can confirm that an internal conduct hearing has concluded in relation to a staff member in our Emergency Department, following allegations concerning conduct.
The hearing was held in accordance with the national NHSScotland Conduct Policy and followed an investigation into matters. It considered several allegations, including interactions between colleagues and patient care.
After reviewing the evidence presented, including written submissions and witness testimony, the panel found that there was insufficient evidence to support a finding of misconduct. While no formal sanctions have been imposed, the panel concluded that a facilitated reflective practice discussion would be appropriate.
NHS Fife acknowledges that this was a complex and sensitive matter, and we are satisfied that the process has been appropriately followed and is now concluded.
We remain committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and safe working environment for all of our staff and patients.
As this matter relates to an individual member of staff, NHS Fife will not be making any further comment on the outcome.
