Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee found that Claire King, a registered nurse in West Lothian, repeatedly stole medication from St John's Hospital, took money from a patient and a colleague, and dishonestly falsified a patient's medication record. The panel decided her misconduct made her fitness to practise impaired and imposed a striking-off order, saying her repeated dishonesty showed deep-seated attitudinal concerns with no insight or remediation. One charge of failing to co-operate with medical testing was found not proved.
