A mental health nurse is accused of letting someone who did not work for her care home help dispense medication.

Mandy Kennedy is accused of breaching residents' confidentiality while working as home manager for Rose House Care Home in Dundee.

She will face a hearing before The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) later this month and could be struck off.

The charges accuse her of breaching residents' confidentiality by allowing an inappropriate person, who was not an employee of Kennedy Care Group, to participate in administering medication, to one or more residents.

The person is also alleged to have been allowed to witness and sign the controlled drug book in respect of two residents on February 16 last year.

Kennedy is further accused of reducing observation on a patient without following procedures, and then blaming it on a colleague, while working as deputy manager another Dundee care home, Munroe House.

The charges relate to a period from March 23 to June 5 last year.

She is also accused of removing patient's contraceptive implant without following procedures on an unknown date in 2015.

The NMC hearing will establish whether the actions amounted to misconduct and if Kennedy's fitness to practise has been impaired.
