Sixth Nurse in BC Suspended for Patient Record Access
3 Oct
Summary
- A licensed practical nurse in BC received a seven-day suspension.
- The suspension is for accessing a patient's medical records without consent.
- This marks the sixth such suspension for BC correctional system nurses since August.
A licensed practical nurse, Anju Khan, employed within British Columbia's correctional system, has consented to a seven-day license suspension. This disciplinary action stems from her admission to accessing the medical records of an individual not under her care on one occasion. The suspension is scheduled to be served from October 9 to October 15.
This marks the sixth instance since August where a nurse employed in BC's correctional facilities has faced suspension for similar privacy violations. The misconduct for all six nurses, including Khan, occurred in April or May of 2025, and they all agreed to disciplinary orders in May or June of the current year. Suspension periods for these nurses range from seven to fourteen days.
