A cancer-surviving nurse who was caught on CCTV stealing and swigging bottles of painkiller on a children s ward faces being struck off.
Laura Howe, 33, was filmed consuming liquid codeine while on duty at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle in 2018.
The paediatric nurse was ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work after she admitted to theft and exposing to or supplying an adulterated medical product at North Tyneside Magistrates Court in 2019.
Howe, from Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, who endured years of intensive cancer treatment, now faces being struck off the register following an investigation by the Nursing And Midwifery Council (NMC) this week.
