A NURSE, dubbed 'the Angel of the North' during the pandemic, has received a vital boost in her appeal against an 'unjust' investigation.
Despite being lauded for her dedication on the frontline during the pandemic, Leona Harris, 48 from Rossendale, has been at the centre of an investigation by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust after an incident in 2017.
She potentially saved a patient's life with a blood transfusion while travelling between Royal Blackburn and Burnley General Hospitals, but found that the relevant paperwork had been overlooked.
Mrs Harris maintains that she did the right thing in the circumstances and last week was relieved to receive a letter from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which the trust had referred her case to, saying that she has 'no case to answer' in their view.
