A nurse failed to recognise the signs of a cardiac arrest in a patient she was caring for at a Glasgow hospital, a report has found. Julie Ann Walker has been stationed by watchdogs after a series of mistakes at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The report released last week by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) found the medic walked away from a patient despite him taking him seriously unwell. Statements from colleagues show that Walker "showed no urgency" as the mans condition worsened.
Eyewitnesses say the medic failed to pull the emergency buzzer. Instead slowly walking over to colleagues to have them come look at the patient.
