Ill-treatment by stroke unit nurse will ‘haunt us’, victim’s son tells court
The ill-treatment in hospital of a paralysed stroke victim will “haunt” her family for the rest of their lives, a court has heard.
In October nurse Catherine Hudson, 54, was found guilty at Preston Crown Court of giving the sedative zopiclone, a class C controlled drug, to Aileen Scott, 76, to keep her “quiet and compliant”.
Hudson was convicted of illegally drugging a second patient and conspiring with a junior colleague, Charlotte Wilmot, 48, to administer a sedative to a third – with the intention of giving themselves Hospital.
