An Edinburgh carer failed to attend over a dozen scheduled visits to vulnerable service users, leaving them at risk of 'physical harm'.
Kalin Cowan has been removed from the register following a hearing with the Scottish Social Services Council. On several occasions during the Covid-19 pandemic, Cowan failed to attend morning, lunch and evening visits to patients.
The incidents took place while Cowan was employed as a support worker for All-in Homecare Ltd in Edinburgh in 2020. Around November 29, Cowan failed to attend all three scheduled visits, as well as missing a lunch visit two weeks later, a morning and lunch visit days after that and a morning and lunch visit on November 18.
