Nurse at Northampton hospital sacked after giving double dose of medication to vulnerable patient A mental health nurse gave twice the amount of a sleeping pill to a Northampton patient.
Gloria Spraggett was working at Meadow Ward of St Andrew's Hospital in September 2017 when she performed a night medicine round that included 'Patient B'.
Despite a doctor reducing her sleeping pill dose from 7.5mg to 3.75mg the day before, Mrs Spraggett gave her the previous amount. She did the same thing the following night, both times falsely recording in the patient's electronic medical notes that the proper amount had been administered.
After an investigation, she was sacked and referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for a tribunal hearing. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
