The RHPA provides an investigated member with the ability to appeal a decision of a inquiry panel in which the investigated member was found guilty of, among other things, professional misconduct, conduct unbecoming, or displaying a lack of knowledge or lack of skill or judgement in the practice of nursing. The filing of an appeal does not suspend all or part of a decision of a panel of the discipline committee. The following decision remains valid unless otherwise pronounced by the Court of Appeal.
