During the inspection, violations were revealed...:
- in violation of subparagraph “c” of paragraph 4 of the Regulations, the head - General Director V.L. Sokolov. (order dated 09/05/2012 N 08-k) there is no higher medical education, Deputy General Director for Medical Work O.I. Ryabova. (order dated September 16, 2012 N 09/K, employment contract dated September 16, 2012) there is no additional professional education and a specialist certificate in the specialty “health care organization and public health”;
- in violation of subparagraph “d” of paragraph 4 of the Regulations, the Deputy General Director for Medical Work Ryabova O.I. work experience in the specialty “surgical dentistry” of at least 5 years has not been confirmed;
...The results of the inspection are recorded in protocol No. 1303-r dated November 21, 2013 on an administrative offense, liability for which is provided for in Part 4, Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Considering the claim made in the case, the courts of two instances recognized the fact of the commission of the imputed offense by the company as documented. The event and the elements of the offense are confirmed by the materials of the administrative case, including the inspection report and the protocol on the administrative offense...
Taking into account these circumstances, the cassation court considers it lawful to impose an administrative fine on the company within the sanction of Part 4 of Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
...The company's references to obtaining a license on a legal basis and in accordance with the requirements of the law on the date of its receipt do not affect the legality of bringing to administrative responsibility. The circumstances of obtaining a license cannot be established within the framework of this dispute. The courts established that at the time of the inspection, the company was carrying out activities in gross violation of the conditions stipulated by the special permit (license)…
- The company’s assertion that its actions did not constitute an offense is rejected as aimed at re-evaluating the circumstances of the case established by the courts of two instances.”
Resolution of the Eleventh Arbitration Court of Appeal dated February 13, 2014 in case No. A55-24619/2013
“From the case materials it is clear that at the time of the inspection, the management of LOTOS LLC was carried out by the general director..., who has a higher education diploma with the qualification “manager” in the specialty “nursing”... and work experience in the specialty of less than 5 years.
From the presented... documents it is clear that... holds the position of director, her responsibilities include direct management of the financial and economic activities of the company in providing medical services to the population, resolving issues that require special knowledge in the medical field.
The court of first instance rightly rejected the company's argument about the possibility that its current sole executive body does not meet the requirements for the position.
The regulation on licensing of medical activities does not provide for any exceptions from the requirements for the head of a medical organization, who is in this case a special subject, regardless of decisions of other bodies, including his personal ones, as the sole executive body of the company.
The job description of the deputy director of LOTOS LLC for medical affairs presented by the company... are internal acts of the organization that do not exempt subjects of medical activities from compliance with legal requirements in the field of licensing of certain types of activities.”
Similar conclusions are contained in the Resolution of the Arbitration Court of the Far Eastern District dated March 5, 2020 in Case No. F03-213/2015: “The administrative body conducted an on-site unscheduled inspection ... of the compliance of the medical activities carried out by the company with the established licensing requirements and conditions. As a result of the audit, it was established that the director of the company, which is a medical organization, does not have a higher medical education and a certificate of a specialist in healthcare organization and public health. The violation was recorded in the inspection report... Based on this fact, the Ministry of Health in relation to the society... drew up a protocol... on an administrative offense, liability for which is provided for in Part 4 of Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.”
Important!
The court drew attention to the fact that the director’s lack of higher medical education and a specialist certificate in the specialty “health care organization and public health,” as both courts rightly pointed out, creates a threat of harm to the life and health of citizens.
“...The courts have established and the case materials confirm that, in violation of the above rules of law, the director of the company, which is a medical organization, Ezhevskaya E.V. does not have a higher medical education or a certificate as a specialist in healthcare organization and public health.
Since non-compliance with the requirement established by the Regulations on licensing of medical activities that the relevant managers responsible for the implementation of medical activities have a higher medical education and a certificate of a specialist in the specialty “health care organization and public health”, as both courts reasonably indicated, creates a threat of harm to life, health of citizens and, therefore, is a gross violation of licensing requirements when conducting medical activities, then bringing the company to administrative liability provided for in Part 4 of Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is lawful.”

General information
The list of responsibilities specified in the instructions will depend on which medical institution the senior nurse is admitted to. In cosmetology, dentistry and hospital, job responsibilities will differ. Our example shows generic functions.
The law does not establish an obligation for employers to draw up job descriptions. In Art. 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the employer prescribes all labor tasks in the employment contract with the employee. In practice, paper is still used, especially in government agencies. It can be either a separate document or an annex to the employment contract.
When creating a job description, be sure to contact lawyers and the immediate supervisor of the employee being hired. After drawing up a draft version, the head of the institution is introduced to it. He approves the document or asks for changes to be made to it.
Important! The development of job descriptions must be approached with full responsibility. This will allow you to avoid further disagreements with employees and inspection authorities.

Document Sections
The standard job description contains 4 main sections. These are “General Provisions”, “Official Responsibilities of the Employee”, “Employee Rights”, “Responsibility”.
Additional sections can be added to the basic ones. These include “Performance Assessment”, “Working Conditions”, “Interaction in the Organization”. They are included to provide a more detailed description of all aspects of the employment relationship between employee and employer.
General provisions
Some provisions of this section are the same for certain employees. For example, knowledge of legislation, following instructions and instructions from management, compliance with labor protection standards, fire safety, etc.
The section indicates which category of workers the senior nurse belongs to, who will be subordinate to her, to whom she herself reports, what knowledge and skills she should have.
Job responsibilities
In this section, as the name implies, the employer must describe all the job responsibilities of the head nurse of the institution. This needs to be done as specifically as possible so that the employee in the future does not become indignant at being asked to perform certain actions that are not part of his job responsibilities.
The head nurse is more of an administrative worker, supervises the work of junior and nursing staff in the organization, keeps records of certain medications, coordinates the work of reshuffling certain personnel, and much more. Thus, this is a personnel, organizational and control activity (within the area of its responsibility).
Rights
The rights of the head nurse include standard ones: the right to receive guarantees from the state, to improve their qualifications, and to make decisions within their area of responsibility. Also, this employee has the right to offer incentives to his subordinates, as well as to impose disciplinary sanctions, sign papers within his competence, etc.
Responsibility
This section of the instructions is often common to many workers. The responsibilities of the head nurse are indicated here only in general terms. Often, only general phrases are used, for example: “within the provisions of the current labor/civil/criminal legislation of the Russian Federation.” This is done because each offense is examined individually with the involvement of various authorities.
