How I became a Whistleblower:
Covertly filmed the abuse and neglect of elderly patients in an NHS Hospital for BBC Panorama.
What happened next:
I lost my nursing registration for 'breaching confidentiality'. I lost my job and my livelihood. The Nursing an Midwifery Council struck me off whilst the staff who were abusing the patients where allowed to carry on working. I was eventually given my registration back and the striking off order was replaced with a caution.
What I do now:
I have a teaching qualification and am a first aid instructor /assessor. I am currently running my own training business, teaching nurses and carers all over the UK and specialising in the protection of vulnerable adults .
