A nurse, Faith Chareka, is struck off the professional register after findings of fraud related to work shifts. Chareka worked in the emergency department for Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust in Surrey and, according to reports, added shifts to her rota that she did not actually work. The claims were reported to total almost £20,000, with one account citing about £19,500. The charges are described as fraud by abuse of position, and the matter is linked to a conviction and subsequent fitness-to-practise proceedings.
Multiple outlets report that a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) fitness to practise committee determined the case and ordered that Chareka be struck off. The coverage is consistent in naming the nurse, the employer location, the nature of the alleged misconduct—logging or adding unpaid shifts she did not perform—and the approximate amount claimed. The reports do not provide details on sentencing length or the full timeline of the misconduct beyond the conviction and the strike-off decision.
