An Edinburgh personal care assistant fell asleep on night shift - as her patient was experiencing a seizure.
Tiffany Nicol, on more than one occasion, fell asleep during her shift which resulted in one service user getting out of bed and another suffering a seizure that she was not aware of.
During a hearing with the Scottish Social Services Council, Nicol was given a 12-month warning on her registration. The hearing stated that on February 3, 2021, Nicol failed to report a colleague who had fallen asleep during a day shift.
