Clemmie Hooper Facing Midwifery Misconduct Hearing

367 replies

Nedmund · 01/03/2023 13:36

I've not yet seen any other threads on this.

It's not yet clear why there's a heating but it would be interesting to read the decision by the Nursing and Midwifery Council when it's posted online. The hearing ends 8th March.

I'm wondering if the racism she trolled with played out in her work?

She’s been working the whole time. But I assume if she wasn’t considered an active threat to the safety of patients then that would be the norm?

For anyone who is interested this is the relevant guidance that a pp mentioned www.nmc.org.uk/ftp-library/understanding-fitness-to-practise/how-we-determine-seriousness/

This is the guidance that the hearings panels and all internal depts at the NMC use to aid their decision making.

It is worth remembering that the purpose of the NMC is not to punish, that is the job of the employer. The NMC are there purely to protect the public and uphold the public interest.

I do feel sorry for her children, who had no say in their exploitation on social media and who are now well and truly old enough for the mostpart to google their mother and find things like this (obviously brought on by their parents in the first place which is presumably very confusing for them to process, but nonetheless). Imagine being able to google and see that your mother created a fake account on a forum, to talk about herself, make attacks based on race and calling her husband - their own dad- a "grade A twat". Accurate, but just not sane behaviour.

I'm quite sure what she gets in respect of her hearing won't be what she deserves but it would be nice if she were held accountable to behaviour that compromises her ethics and reflects incredibly poorly on her decision making and honest in a job that requires all of the above.

The way both parents exploit their children is nothing short of grim, anything for a cash grab or a sponsorship.

How did she get caught? I'd completely forgotten this story!

Standbyguest · 02/03/2023 06:03

@VladmirsPoutine I think tattle users had suspicions anyway, and then the geo tags showed the poster was posting from the same location Clemmie was on holiday.

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2023 06:09

I don’t agree with using dc as content for £ but I feel for her that people are talking about a work disciplinary.

A lesson seems to be easy money from IG is not always worth it.

Are geotags only visible to site admins?

Standbyguest · 02/03/2023 06:15

@WombsofWimbledon I believe so, and they called her out.

Bookist · 02/03/2023 09:23

Clemmie really thought she was untouchable. I'm so pleased that the Tattle mods didn't give a shit about her supposed celebrity status.

Nimblesandbimbles · 02/03/2023 09:36

They’re an awful pair. I never rated her before all of this. As others have said they have exploited their kids for the gram. Addicted to attention & exposure. Interesting to hear this & will be interested to know the outcome.

I remember when she came into her MN thread (as herself) and got a virtual battering lol. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Did she? Do you have a link please?

They carelessly exposed their children to the point where total strangers knew exactly where they lived, which schools they attended and what times the eldest daughter was home from school alone. They gleefully threw their children's security and privacy under the bus for the sake of a fugly, germolene pink bathroom and assorted tat.

WombsofWimbledon · 01/03/2023 20:37

Side point on this - I think she was unmasked on tattle due to her location while posting. I always thought that was possibly a data protection issue?

Location is not identifiable information under gdpr.
Name/ address etc but literally 1000s of people could tag themselves at a holiday location at once.

Nedmund · 02/03/2023 13:19

As if racism and being as unhinged enough to troll yourself and circle are not enough, I didn't know that @Bookist.

It seems like money and staying relevant is very much the priority.

I don’t think pretending to be someone else to ‘defend yourself’ online is actually ‘unhinged’, it’s something I imagine happens on here all the time! It’s more sneaky/defensive/overly invested in whatever some ransoms are saying about you.

What about her racial abuse of other ‘mummy bloggers’?

Mangomingo · 02/03/2023 13:36

Again, not unhinged. Just your average racist sadly.

Leftoverssandwich · 02/03/2023 13:38

Father of Daughters has been featuring her more and more on his account. So if the charges are around her use of social media more generally, I’m not sure she can be said to have kept a low profile. Obviously every time he does his army of bots followers clamours for more of her white trainer style.

She is quite disingenuous about this though. I agree that unhinged is too far, but she posted on Tattle before there was a thread about her. So the self-defence excuse is a bit thin.

Yes definitely. It was just before this shit hit the fan that Clemmie announced that her path was now taking her away from the influencing plebs and toward true celebrity status. Yes really.

Jooliusreezer · 02/03/2023 13:33

Again not ‘unhinged’ because that infers mad and that you don’t really know what you’re doing. But nasty, and racist? Yes absolutely.

She’s probably featuring more as she knows she’s likely to lose her job and therefore wants to start raising her profile again.

Jooliusreezer · 02/03/2023 13:59

I really hope her fall from Grace is completed with the removal of her ability to practice as a midwife. She’s not fit to advocate and care for women from all walks of life.

From what I could recall, she only did one shift a week and would use it to lever herself up into some sort of ‘angel’ status. I’d be curious to know what the other midwives thought of her.

From what I can recall at the time, her Tattle abuse of others began before anything about her and her family. So that slightly wipes out her defence.

Sadly, she’s just a common-or-garden ‘mean girl’ who believed her own hype and thought she was hot shit and better than others.
