An East Dunbartonshire nurse has been suspended for calling dementia patients derogatory names, swearing at them, and failing to properly assess them when they were injured.
Elizabeth Claire Mcallister, who has been working as a nurse for over 40 years, was reported for her behaviour while looking after dementia patients at Whitefield Lodge Care Home in Lennoxtown.
During a weekend in May 2020, she failed to read the care plan for a resident and moved them without a hoist or any other member of staff. When another resident suffered a fall and cut their head, she then failed to undertake any neurological observations or a full assessment of their condition.
