Our partner in professional liability and disciplinary law, Victoria Lemieux-Brown, spoke with Isabelle Richer on her program broadcast on ICI RDI. The interview focused on the one-year suspension imposed on a practical nurse who had worked while under the influence of alcohol.
Victoria was invited to analyze the decision rendered by the Disciplinary Council of the l’Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers auxiliaires du Québec and explain its implications in accessible terms. She discussed the role of disciplinary law in such cases and its importance in protecting the public.
Drawing on her experience in professional liability and disciplinary law, our partner highlighted the standards that practical nurses must meet in the performance of their duties, as well as the rules governing repeat offences. She also emphasized that the seriousness of an offence must be assessed independently of its consequences and discussed the rehabilitation measures undertaken by the practical nurse.
