Nurse Slapped Inmate Then Faced Fallout

A nurse was fired after slapping an inmate during a medical emergency at HMP Ranby in September 2023, following a volatile confrontation where he used misogynistic language. Witnesses saw her strike him, claiming she feared he’d headbutt her. Though the panel acknowledged the chaos, they noted she had space to retreat. She later used racial slurs when told the inmate was reporting her. Her defense said it was a spontaneous, out-of-character moment causing her deep shame. The Nursing and Midwifery Council issued a caution, calling the slap serious but not reflective of her usual conduct. The healthcare trust removed her immediately and affirmed their zero-tolerance stance on patient safety. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
