A nurse who worked has been struck off after failing to give patients their required drugs.
Kathleen Matheson had been employed as a registered nurse at Woodend Hospital and Castle Lodge Nursing Home in Inverbervie.
Last week she appeared before a hearing of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in Edinburgh and was found to have made a number of professional errors relating to note-taking, administering medication and more.
The panel found that Ms Matheson failed to administer an overnight feed with a feeding tube to a care home resident, gave the impression that medication had been administered when she knew it had not, and failed to inform her employer she was working under NMC interim conditions of practice.
The incidents happened between December 2013 and January 2016.
A number of sanctions were considered, but the NMC panel ultimately chose to strike her from the nursing register.
Ms Matheson may not now apply for restoration to the register for five years.
A report from the health watchdog said: “In the circumstances the panel concluded that the nature and seriousness of your misconduct were fundamentally incompatible with your continued registration as a nurse.
“A period of suspension would be insufficient to satisfy the public interest considerations in this case, and that public confidence in the profession and in the NMC as a regulator could only be sustained by your removal from the register.
“The panel concluded that, notwithstanding the personal and professional hardship which a sanction will inevitably cause you, a striking-off order is the only sufficient and appropriate sanction.
“Such an order is necessary to satisfy the public interest in declaring and upholding proper professional standards and maintaining public confidence in the profession and the NMC.
