The High Court cancels the nursing registration of a nurse found guilty of professional misconduct, following allegations relating to patient care in mid-2021. Multiple reports say the cases concern the nurse’s actions while working in a Dublin hospital during July and August 2021.
According to the allegations reported across outlets, the nurse failed to apply a dressing to a patient, and did not shower a patient until the afternoon. The reports also state that the nurse placed a patient who had undergone a knee replacement on a bedpan and left the patient unattended.
After the professional misconduct finding, the High Court order removes the nurse’s registration, meaning the nurse is no longer permitted to practise as a registered nurse. The accounts focus on the specific patient-care failures described in the misconduct allegations and the High Court’s decision to cancel registration. The reports do not provide additional detail on sentencing terms beyond the cancellation of registration, nor do they describe any alternative sanctions.
