A “commended” NHS nurse has been awarded nearly 500,000 for being wrongly sacked after she claimed that high workloads led to a patient’s death.
Linda Fairhall, 62, a 44-year veteran of the health service, said she made 13 separate pleas to bosses warning that her colleagues were overburdened, but she was ignored each time.
Fairhall, who joined the health service in 1979, told officials at the University Hospital of North Tees and Hartlepool that she was worried about a recently imposed policy that obliged nurses to monitor patients who took prescribed medicines. Fairhall, who was a clinical care co-odinator, maintained that it led to nurses having to conduct 1,000 extra patient visits a month without extra resources.
