‘We acted immediately’
East Kent NHS Trust’s chief nurse and director of quality, Sally Smith, said: “We acted immediately on whistleblowing by a member of staff, which led to an investigation into the conduct of this individual and resulted in their dismissal in July 2014.
“Due to the serious nature of the investigation, we referred the individual to the Nursing & Midwifery Council.
“We uphold the highest standards and have a robust process to help staff raise concerns.”
