Nurse boss of Cwmbran care home altered records and could be struck off

[Northerner]

A CARE home boss who admitted falsifying the insulin records of a vulnerable diabetes patient faces being struck off.

Gillian Shaw added the names of colleagues on a medication chart to make it look as though the unnamed patient had been given the life-saving drug for three consecutive days at Llanyravon Court Care Home in Cwmbran, a hearing was told.

She also coerced another nurse, Berly Thomas, to sign the chart in a bid to cover her back, a Nursing and Midwifery Council panel in Cardiff heard yesterday.

A custodial sentenced would be appropriate!

Ex-boss of Cwmbran care home banned from management

Update:

A FORMER care home boss who falsified the insulin records of a vulnerable diabetes patient was banned from taking up managerial posts for two years.

Gillian Shaw added the names of colleagues on a medication chart to make it look as though the unnamed patient was given the life-saving drug at Llanyravon Court Care Home in Cwmbran. The Llanfrechfa Way home was under investigation at the time because a domestic worker, as opposed to a nurse, had administered the drug to the immobile man.

Mrs Shawfaced being struck off by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) yesterday but was instead given a conditions of practice order after it emerged the patient was given his insulin shots, though her colleagues failed to keep accurate records.
