Nurse struck off after lying about performing CPR on care home resident
A nurse has been struck off after lying about performing CPR on a patient who had suffered a fall and later died.
Afzal Sharif, a registered nurse at Astley Hall Care Home, near Stourport, faced eight charges relating to a resident of the care home who'd had a fall and was found on the floor with 'a graze and bruise above her right eye' on January 6, 2022.
Upon the discovery - by a different carer - Sharif was informed, who documented the physical signs in the accident report and called emergency services.
After moving the resident to her bed, ambulance crews arrived but by that point the resident had died.
In a report produced by the Nursing and Midwifery Council Fitness to Practise Committee, Sharif faced eight charges including lying about giving the resident CPR.
