A Merseyside nursing home boss has been sanctioned by officials after a litany of errors that put patients at risk of harm over a two-year period.
Following half a dozen Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearings across almost 12 months, Deborah Farr has been told she cannot hold any management positions following her conduct at Beechcroft Nursing Home, Prenton. A report released by the NMC said between 2017 and 2019, Ms Farr held a position of seniority and she failed to meet the obligations of a Registered Manager with responsibility for the safety and care of vulnerable and elderly residents.
As a result, she must now comply with conditions of practice set by the NMC for a period of 18 months after her fitness to practice was deemed to be impaired. Dozens of charges were put to Ms Farr, with 50 facts proved against her, including those by admission.
