G, a final year nursing student, faced allegations of fraudulently recording placement hours. Following a forensic review of placement records, system logs and further exculpatory evidence, Laura was able to demonstrate that the allegations were unfounded and that the evidence of a key witness was significantly flawed and that although G had made mistakes, in fact much of the responsibility for errors lay with the university itself. The panel found that G’s fitness to practise was not impaired and that she should be allowed to re-join the course and provided with additional support to complete her outstanding placement hours.
