A friend, works as health care assistant in NHS.
Got arrested & didn't tell boss. Tried to deal with it all himself. Says he didn't do it (assault), but pleaded guilty as was told this would speed things up in terms of processing.
Got a conditional discharge.
Didn't tell his boss any of this.
Now suspended pending investigation. He's Worried he'll lose his job and never work in NHS again. That's true isn't it? Is there any hope of leniancy? I guess all the NHS know is that a court found him guilty & passed sentence (even tho the sentence was the bear min they could give)
I'm gutted for him that he was given the advice to plead guilty without knowing implications if he maintains he is innocent.
Sorry for epic post - just wanted a reality check as to how it's going to affect him.
15yrs NHS service and never a problem. He is truly wonderful with the patients. Just a stupid incident.
So sad for him. Will he never work in NHS again with a record?
(Ps - they are also investigating him for not disclosing to his boss - but again, he says he didn't know this was in his contract (issued 15 yr ago)
