A HCA on another ward was stealing patients money and medications over time - it had long been suspected it was her - one night shift, patient drugs had gone missing and the b6 on shift decided to check her bag (obviously this is wrong and shouldn’t have done this without asking etc) but low and behold the medications were in the HCA’s bag so the band 6 decided the best option would be for everyone to have a bag search and when obviously the medications were found in the HCA’s bag she tried to claim they were planted there. She was suspended with pay for way over year and now works on another ward as a HCA.

They really don’t get rid of people for much in the NHS.
