A NURSE stands accused of abandoning a patient in their urine-soaked sheets, leaving a morphine syringe lying around and a catalogue of other failures.

Former Broomfield Hospital staff nurse Ide Warren is due before the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in a fortnight on 11 charges.

The allegations date between March 2011 and February 2012 while she was employed on a vascular and urology surgical ward.

The council say her failures "fail to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skills and judgement required to practise without supervision".

That includes leaving a syringe of oramorph on a patient's bed, not witnessing it being given, then signing to say it had when it had not.

Another allegation says Warren used the same gloves she had worn to clean a patient that had soiled herself to fit a catheter on another patient.

She is also said to have left a patient in their urine-soaked bed for 20 minutes, and not cleaned beds when patients had been discharged.

Warren was given an 18-month suspension in September 2012 while the NMC investigated the claims. Her hearing in Belfast starts on Thursday, June 26.
