To be quite honest I really do not know - never tried doing that. I would suggest that either you or your daughter does and report to the GP and hospital consultant. If they are already aware and recorded this in your SIL's clinical notes, all the better.
I haven't as yet. My daughter gave me her name over the phone tonight - I don't think that it was typed because she was having difficulty making it out so it is possible she mis-spelled it. I do know though that I shall be asking for her NMC registration number as well as her formal qualifications. Atos will probably quote chapter and verse about the Data Protection Act and their nurse's rights but if a phone call is what it takes then up goes the phone bill. I want to know exactly what kind of nurse has no heart. ATOS can try, but they will not succeed, unless the claimant is not legally-savvy or not being helped by those who are legally-savvy. The details of healthcare professionals registered with the GMC, NMC and HCPC are a matter of public record. Certain personal details are subject to the Data Protection Act 1998, namely, date of birth and home address. ATOS is obliged to provide you with the nurse's full name, NMC Reference/Registration Number and whether they are authorised to practice in the UK. You can pre-empt ATOS being disingenuous by reminding them of their obligations when requesting the nurse's details. If ATOS fail or refuse to provide the necessary details, report them to the ICO.
Most people cannot help but go on the net and leave a footprint a mile wide. I have run several permutations of Killin-Carslyon / Killen-Carslyon/ Killen-Carlyon and nada. No references for social media, mentions in print etc
