An NHS support worker pretending to be off work sick completed a full-time nursing degree while still receiving her wages.
Zahida Bibi, now 38, was a support worker at a psychiatric hospital in the city but was signed off work in August 2016, a few days after she claimed she had been struck on the arm with a brush by a patient.
She was eventually dismissed on medical grounds in June 2018, but had been paid around £40,000 by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust during that time.
