Nurse dismissed for error in clinical trials

Nicola Gibson, a nurse at James Cook University Hospital, South Teeside, England, was dismissed of her duties after she did not perform her duties properly for the Study of Heart and Renal Protection (SHARP) between July 2004 and January 2006 being performed from Oxford.

According to Medical News Today, Ms. Gibson failed to document informed consent of patients to participate and contribute blood samples in the study, did not interview patients for as long as required and thus denied them full consultation in the study, failed to take and/or record blood tests, did not administer medication to groups of patients as allocated and then tried to cover her mistakes by recording the medication as provided.
