Fórsa national secretary Linda Kelly has taken over responsibility for the defence of fitness to practise complaints against Fórsa members.

Health and social care professionals regulated by CORU can face fitness to practise complaints. They include physiotherapists, physical therapists, dietitians, social workers, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists.

Fórsa members in these professions have access to a free advisory and representation service, including legal representation.

Linda said the complaints process was arduous and often lengthy.

The union is planning a learning event for Fórsa members later in 2022, and Linda advised members to keep an eye on future e-bulletins for details.

Members who receive a complaint from CORU should Sheena Clarke on 01-817-1512 or email sclarke@forsa.ie without delay. Read more about the fitness-to-practise process HERE.
