Mathew Sammon

The Member, a registered nurse, faced allegations of professional misconduct for failing to provide his employer with a true copy of his recognizance of bail documents, modifying or altering those documents, and seeking to deceive his employer regarding his bail conditions.

The Discipline Committee found that the Member intentionally falsified the documents to hide a bail condition prohibiting him from being in the presence of females under 18 years of age.

The Committee concluded that the Member's actions constituted disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional conduct.

The Member was reprimanded, his certificate of registration was suspended for five months, and terms, conditions, and limitations were imposed on his practice.

The Member, a registered nurse, was found guilty of assault under the Criminal Code following an off-duty altercation.

The College of Nurses of Ontario alleged professional misconduct on the basis that the Member was found guilty of an offence relevant to her suitability to practise.

The Discipline Committee accepted an agreed statement of facts and the Member's admission of professional misconduct.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering an oral reprimand and remedial conditions on the Member's certificate of registration, noting the Member had already suffered significant corollary effects including a jail sentence and loss of employment.
