A nurse has appeared in court accused of "altering a medication administration chart to avoid disciplinary action".
David Hamilton is alleged to have committed the fraud in order to keep his job in Kenton, Newcastle, over a 12-day period in March last year. The 62-year-old was in the dock at the city's magistrates' court on Wednesday.
Hamilton, of Anick View, in Hexham, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address and to say he would be withholding his plea to one count of fraud by false representation.
