NHS nurse wrongly suspended after patient claims she was pregnant with his child
An NHS nurse has won an unfair dismissal claim after being banned for two years following allegations that she was pregnant with a male patients' child.
Jessica Thorpe came under the microscope by a hospital trust in April 2020 three days after a patient -known only as Patient X - claimed that he was having an 'inappropriate relationship' with her.
The patient was being treated in a secure facility for men who have come into contact with the criminal justice system, and he later died in December that year.The former healthcare and nursing assistant was suspended by Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, despite Patient X's death, The Mirror reports.
Ms Thorpe became a social media influencer running accounts Slice of Jess which saw her earn almost £20,000 a year. She was told she could return to work, but resigned instead.Ms Thorpe had to wait until July 2021 - more than a year after accusations were made.
