A carer who fled Aberdeen after scamming a patient has now been struck off.
The decision was made to remove Faith Njoku, after it was found she convinced a patient she wanted a romantic relationship with him and took thousands of pounds from him. She then told the patient if he wanted to see her again, he would need to come with more money.
Njoku was working for H1 Healthcare Solutions in Aberdeen at the time, before seeking employment in Glasgow and then Edinburgh. The events, which happened in August 2020, have now been investigated and a report from the SSSC says the carer ‘placed a vulnerable service user at risk of unnecessary harm’.
