Renfrewshire nurse struck off after giving care home resident wrong diamorphine doses

A Renfrewshire nurse has been struck off after giving a care home resident higher doses of diamorphine than they were prescribed and lied about the quantity given.

Robyn Connelly was employed at Ranfurly Care Home in Johnstone when the incidents occurred in October 2019.

She was also found to have administered diamorphine or midazolam to a patient without a witness, asked a colleague to sign out drugs when they had not witnessed them being prepared and asked a colleague to amend the entries made for the patient in the care home's drugs book.
