Amber Faye Stewart, a nurse at Hampton Care Home, was found guilty of negligence after failing to administer necessary medication to vulnerable residents during her shifts in early 2020. After an investigation prompted by a whistleblower, CCTV footage revealed that Stewart had disposed of medication instead of administering it. The Nursing and Midwifery Council ruled her fitness to practice as impaired, noting her actions involved deliberate dishonesty, particularly targeting residents without mental capacity. Stewart's conduct raised serious concerns about her integrity as a healthcare professional.
Ms Stewart's actions included a level of calculation, neglecting to administer medication to those who were vulnerable, indicating a breach of trust and ethical responsibilities.
The panel found Miss Stewart did not administer medication to 33 residents over six consecutive shifts and falsely recorded that she had administered the medication.
