A nasty Glasgow carer who pushed and swore at vulnerable service users has been given a warning.
Stephanie Millrine was working as a care assistant at Haydale Care Home in Tollcross in April last year when the incidents unfolded.
While supporting one service user, she pushed their hand away and pulled them back onto a chair by their jumper when they were attempting to stand up.

Later that month while looking after someone else who told her they didn't want a biscuit, she replied "f*** you then" and when they too attempted to stand up from a chair, pushed them back down by their shoulders.
That same day, she grabbed another service user's arm when they tried to hold her colleague's arm and said "don’t grab her like that you wouldn’t grab your wife like that".
When they held their hand onto her back she said "you wouldn’t touch your wife like that so don’t touch me like that".
She also roughly moved the man's hand when he was scratching his genital area and said "that is disgusting wait until we are out of the room".
In May, she raised her voice to another service user and shouted "you have had tea, it was me who bloody gave you it". When they disagreed, she replied "you have had tea, I already told you".
Millrine was hauled before the Scottish Social Service Council where it was found that her fitness to practise in impaired.
Their report outlined: "You have failed to correctly identify the support needs of several users of services or recognise the potential impact their health and conditions could have on their interactions with you.
"Instead of positively engaging with each user of services and reassuring them, you resorted to separately grabbing and pushing their hands away. You also pushed two residents back into chairs they were attempting to rise from.
"Your behaviour demonstrates a lack of compassion, understanding and self-control, all of which are fundamental qualities expected from social service workers who are trusted to care for some of the most vulnerable members of society."
It was reported that Millrine, who has worked in the social services sector since 2015, had not engaged with the investigation or given assurances that her behaviour wouldn't be repeated in future.
It was decided that a sanction should be placed on her registration for 30 months.
