Suspension(suspended from practice)· 3 months
The NMC found that registered nurse Henrietta Gibson-Leigertwood grabbed a vulnerable mental health patient, pulled the patient by the hair, did not use de-escalation techniques, and then made an inaccurate and dishonest Datix entry claiming the patient had attacked her. She admitted the charges. The Fitness to Practise Committee found her fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct and imposed a three-month suspension order with a review, plus an 18-month interim suspension order.
