Shocking, just shocking, how these two nurses have interacted with regards to patients, whom where in their care, definitely requires a full criminal investigation.

Coroner is probing EIGHT deaths on the same NHS ward where pair of 'dangerous and callous' nursing staff drugged and ill-treated patients - and now face jail.

A coroner is probing eight deaths on the same NHS ward where a pair of 'dangerous and callous' nursing staff drugged and ill-treated patients.

The 54-year-old senior nurse drugged two patients for an 'easy life' at the unit, which was described as having 'a culture of abuse', in April 2017 and November 2018, her trial heard.

She swapped vile messages with her partner in crime, Charlotte Wilmot, including one in which Hudson boasted of sedating an elderly patient 'to within an inch of her life'. The nurses were warned that they both face jail.
They also stole medication from the 'corrupt' ward at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, with the trial hearing claims that '95 per cent of the staff' would take drugs from the unit, sometimes on a recreational basis.

There has to be serious management failings throughout the organisation for this sort of abuse to happen with no action taken

Agreed - though this is also why I'm surprised that they're said to have involved the police as soon as the whistleblower spoke up

All too often whistleblowers are crushed, but maybe with an investigation looming the management wanted to be seen as having done at least one thing right?
