She was initially subjected to an interim conditions of practice order by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

However, a review hearing in London led to the replacement of this order with an interim suspension on Friday, September 5.

The allegations against Ms Parker have not been revealed at this stage.

The interim order will be reviewed every six months or as new evidence emerges. 

In the notice of the order, it said: “The panel decided to replace the current interim conditions of practice order with an interim suspension order.

“A panel of the Fitness to Practise Committee has still to deal with the allegations made against Miss Parker. 

“The NMC will keep Miss Parker informed of developments in relation to that issue.”
