A nurse who was jailed after going on a spending spree with a dying grandad's bank card has now been struck off the nursing register.
Leanne Wallace, 40, was sentenced to prison at Teesside Crown Court in November, last year, after she targeted Leslie Rushworth, known as Les, as he lay on his death bed at the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton, Teesside Live reports.
During a Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing last month, the panel heard the patient and particularly his family, were caused extreme emotional harm as a result of Wallace’s fraudulent actions which occurred as a result of abuse of her position of trust.
