A nurse and a healthcare worker have been found guilty of unlawfully drugging patients - amid allegations they did so for their own amusement and an easy life.
Catherine Hudson, 54, and Charlotte Wilmot, 48, ill-treated those in their care on a stroke unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital in Lancashire between February 2017 and November 2018, Preston Crown Court heard. Hudson was found guilty of ill-treating three patients. Both women were found guilty of conspiracy to ill treat a patient by administering sedatives. They faced a total of nine counts concerning five patients, with Hudson found not guilty of three counts.
In one exchange about an elderly male patient, Hudson wrote: 'I'm going to kill bed 5 xxx.' Wilmot replied: 'Pmsl well tonight sedate him to high heaven lol xxx.' Hudson said: 'Already in my head to give him double !!' The next evening Hudson messaged Wilmot: 'If bed 5 starts he will b getting sedated to hell pmsfl. I'll get u the abx xxx'.
