A FORMER Troon nursing home boss, who failed to discipline her husband who forced himself on a colleague then screamed in a dementia patient’s face, has now been axed.

Mairi Campbell Riley was removed from the nursing register last month for the misconduct when she was employed as home manager of Westbank Nursing Home.

Ayr Advertiser:

Riley failed to take appropriate disciplinary action against him after she saw him grab hold of a colleague, pin them to a wall and kiss their neck.

Hearing papers state he was also seen screaming and or shouting in the face of a resident with dementia.

No appropriate action was taken on his use of abusive and or sexual language towards colleagues and in the presence of residents.

Riley also breached another staff member’s confidentiality in disclosing information relating to her health to him when there was no managerial reason to do so.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council found that Riley’s fitness to practise was impaired through the misconduct – with her having left her role at the nursing home in 2015.

In a recent suspension hearing, the NMC removed her from the register – after she had declined to engage with the regulator and expressed that she does not want to return to nursing.

The ruling said: “The panel noted that the last reviewing panel noted that it had no evidence to demonstrate that she had remediated her practice or developed further insight in relation to her professional practice.

“The panel had no information from Mrs Riley to demonstrate that the concerns of the substantive panel have been addressed. The panel noted in an email, dated September 2, 2020, that Mrs Riley had stated her intention of never nursing again.

“As a result, she has not provided any evidence that she has taken steps to remediate her misconduct and it appears she has no intention of doing so.

“The panel noted that it appears that Mrs Riley does not accept she has done anything wrong which appears to demonstrate a lack of insight.”
