Two Nurses Convicted For Drugging Patients

In a shocking turn of events, former healthcare professionals Catherine Hudson and Charlotte Wilmot have been convicted of unlawfully drugging patients at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Hudson, a senior nurse on the stroke unit, and Wilmot, an assistant practitioner, were found guilty of multiple offences, revealing a disturbing pattern of abuse and negligence.

The duo needlessly sedated patients between 2017 and 2018, with evidence suggesting they did so for personal amusement, spite towards patients, and to have an easier shift.
