A doctor could be allowed to return to work if a medical watchdog agrees to lift a ban imposed after she attacked nursing staff.
Karen Clark is currently suspended after multiple reviews of her fitness to practise by the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service (MPTS) failed to lift the order and allow her back on the wards.
A fresh hearing will be held next month and will consider previous criminal convictions for attacking four nurses, drink driving, cocaine possession and police assault.
