SOHRAB:BUPA NURSE FAILED TO TELL FAMILY ABOUT DEMENTIA PATIENT'S FALLBLACKBURN, LANCS
A nurse who forgot to tell a dementia patient's family about an injury she sustained during a fall at a BUPA home has been handed a two year caution order.
Nazia Sohrab was aware of a large purple bruise on the back of the elderly woman's head and then failed to do anything about it, the Nursing and Midwifery Council found.
Sohrab was working on the Dementia Unit at the Old Gates Care Home, Blackburn, Lancashire, when she was informed of the patient's fall in May 2011.
A care assistant told Sohrab about the bruise but she did not tell the patient's family about the incident.
