A health board is under scrutiny after an unidentified woman, posing as a nurse, successfully infiltrated St Andrews Community Hospital in Fife, Scotland. The incident, treated as a failed coup attempt, resulted in the theft of medical records belonging to 14 patients, sparking concerns about data security and patient safety.

The woman, masquerading as an agency nurse, managed to assist with patient care and access sensitive medical records during the breach in February. Although she was challenged and left the premises shortly afterwards, the health board acknowledged that the individual had access to a handover document containing patient information.
