flag Irish physiotherapist Niamh Fehily censured for failing to document patient’s cancer history and symptoms, leading to professional misconduct.

flag A Dublin physiotherapist, Niamh Fehily, was censured by Ireland’s CORU for poor record-keeping and professional misconduct after a former breast cancer survivor was diagnosed with cancer that had spread to her bones in December 2022. flag The inquiry found Fehily failed to document the patient’s cancer history, Tamoxifen use, or worsening symptoms despite repeated visits and Garmin data showing her condition deteriorated. flag Updated records created months after a complaint was filed were deemed unreliable and self-serving. flag An expert witness said assessments were inadequate and unchanging. flag While no treatment caused harm, Fehily’s actions breached professional standards. flag The patient’s testimony was credible, and Fehily, now in Portugal, cannot register to practice there.
