Patient at Northampton psychiatric hospital died after nurse muddled medication, panel hears A nurse who botched a medication round at a Northampton hospital that led to the death of a patient has been let off with a caution.

While on duty at an unfamiliar ward at Berrywood Hospital, in Duston, Misodzi Gwenamo gave a large dose of medication to the wrong patient. The ward then failed to provide sufficient emergency care as the patient's condition worsened until she died.

Gwenamo admitted all charges of misconduct at a Nursing and Midwifery Council disciplinary hearing on July 24. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
