A Liverpool midwife has escaped a sanction after falsely claiming she had completed hundreds of hours of required work.
Ellen Burke claimed to have completed hundreds of hours of registered midwifery practice over a three-year period, according to documents made public by the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) investigation committee. However, after retiring Ms Burke has avoided punishment.
An NMC report said in an online revalidation submission dated June 2019, Ms Burke had completed 450 hours of registered midwifery practice in the previous three years. It became apparent this was not the case.
