The Council's powers in this regard are laid down in the Nurses Registration Ordinance, the Nurses (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulations and the Enrolled Nurses (Enrolment and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulations
(Cap. 164, Cap. 164A and Cap. 164B, Laws of Hong Kong).
Complaint against a registered nurse or an enrolled nurse for professional misconduct should be forwarded in writing to the Secretary who will then refer it to the Chairman of the Preliminary Investigation Committee (PIC) for consideration.
The PIC decides whether to dismiss the complaint or refer it to the Council for inquiry. The Council, at the conclusion of the inquiry, will exercise its powers in accordance with the Ordinance and its subsidiary legislation, and make such disciplinary orders as it deems fit.
