It wasn’t a matter of the patient losing their mind; it simply went out of control. It was simply one of those late-night arguments. Although it occurs often, the nurse’s assault is surprising.
“We are deeply saddened and shocked by last night’s incident, and our focus is on supporting the colleague involved and their family,”
Said Heather Caudle, chief nursing officer at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, which operates the Royal Oldham Hospital.
“Colleagues and patients who saw the occurrence and for whom it has been upsetting and scary are also in our thoughts.
We’ll keep helping Greater Manchester Police with their investigations. The Royal Oldham Hospital’s services are still available.
