I have ADHD, am i 'fit' to practice????


I recently recieveda patient reletive complaint sugesting my approach to her husbands care was 'innappropreate' I was suspended from duty and had to attened a formal investigation meeting.

I answered all the allegations satisfactorally but the Nursing Matron flagged up my ADHD! and claimed that she had to look into wether my ADHD prevented me from being able to follow hospital policies in future????

I now have to see Occy Health and have my suitability to practice assesed!! surely this can not be right???

Anyong got any advice???

Cheers.
