  1. Im currently in dispute with Atos Medical Services And the Dwp , I was seen where the Scheme for ESA was rolled out at Burnley I have seen 2 doctors previously both sympathetic to the conditions i have and was kept on with no issues. my health which recently took a further downturn with more nerves acting up and i was sent for another medical at burnley this time i saw a nurse, the nurse did the examination incorrectly made up several allegations one of which was i sat in a chair for 60 mins i was only in there 30 mins. Then stated synthetic morphine was a "mild Painkiller" during the examination i had a cramp attack and the muscles were having spasms i indicated this she ignored it. the report was full of other fabrications eg i could stand for 30 mins this again was a lie after 5 mins the legs go numb and lumbar pain starts. i placed a complaint and proceeded to investigate things myself and reported the nurse to the nursing and midwifery council whilst on thier site i checked her credentials she was listed as non practicing, basically meaning she was not working in a nursing role or working where a nursing qualification was a requirement i sent the following letter to Atos to which they have not replied as of yet. i found the following Form the NMC’s code of practice regarding registration the following applies: “Associate non-practising membership is available to those nurses who wish to take out membership of the RCN, but who are not working, or who are not working in a role where a recognised nursing qualification is a requirement to enable them to undertake that role. Members of this category can access most membership benefits and services, with the exception of workplace representation and our indemnity scheme.” So with regard to this as Mrs **** is registered as Non Practising – So i believe it is either 1) Atos Medical Services do not require medical professionals to undertake these medical examinations – which is a act of negligence as they are using persons who may not necessarily be suitably qualified to undertake medical examinations and making statements of a medical nature. So basically anyone could undertake these examinations with no official medical qualifications. this is a unlawful act. Or Mrs**** committed a act of negligence by not informing her employer she was not registered to carry out duties where a recognised nursing qualification was required. So therefore breached the nursing code of practice by undertaking medical examinations on individuals . this would be conceived as a act of gross misconduct , breach of tort law and a breach of the human rights act. Can you confirm if you employ people without a recognized qualification to undertake these examinations – as Mrs **** registered as not working in a medical capacity - or has Mrs **** Comitted a Act of gross misconduct i have a right to know as she undertook my "medical examination"
