A nurse at a care home in Merseyside has been struck off after she was was found to have abused a resident.
Susan Hughes, a registered nurse at Charlotte House Care Home in Bebington, was struck off the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register after an investigation found that she abused and mistreated a "vulnerable resident" of the care home. The incidents in question occurred in December 2019 before the care home moved into new management.
Hughes was found to have abused a female patient, referred to as Resident A in an NMC report, calling her "stupid" and "childish." She was also found to have not taken the "adequate action" when the patient showed "concerning" deterioration when she was on duty and didn't inform a manager or doctor.
