A nurse, Penelope Williams, has been struck off the nursing register after her secret lover, a patient, died in a car. Williams had been employed as a registered nurse at a renal hemodialysis unit in Wrexham since October 2019 when the incident occurred.
According to a report by the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s fitness to practice committee, on the evening of January 8, 2022, the patient, known as Patient A, was found partially clothed in the back of a car and later died from heart failure and chronic kidney disease triggered by a medical episode. Williams failed to call an ambulance when the patient became unwell, as revealed during a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearing.
