Band 7 ward manager was suspended from the Nursing and Midwifery Council register for repeatedly leaving work early when she should have been completing bank shifts she had requested to cover staffing gaps on her own ward. Jacqueline Morse had authorised the bank nurse shifts in her capacity as ward manager at King George Hospital, part of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust in east London. She told an investigation she had stopped work early because she started early or did not take breaks. An NMC fitness to practise panel found Ms Morse had put patients at risk, but had not demonstrated the most serious dishonesty.
