Portsmouth: Nurse who went to sleep feeding two babies suspended

The hospital told the NMC Mrs Enad also gave a father the wrong bottle of breast milk for their child and did not tell any senior staff of the error.

It told the NMC it had started its own investigation into Mrs Enad over concerns but it had not finished by the time she resigned in June 2022.

A panel found that she had fallen asleep while feeding the two babies and writing up patient notes on the ward on 31 July 2021.

On 31 August 2021, she was found to have left a baby alone in an isolation cubicle, forgetting to ask a colleague to cover her absence.

The colleague found that while Mrs Enad was away, the cubicle’s “red alarm” was triggered.

They told the panel that suggested immediate care was required.
