Professor Stephen Hawking's former nurse has been struck off the nursing register after a panel found she failed to provide him with appropriate care.
Patricia Dowdy, 61, had faced multiple misconduct charges in relation to her care for the renowned physicist, including financial misconduct, dishonesty and not having the correct qualifications. She was also charged with not providing appropriate care and failing to co-operate with the Nursing and Midwifery Council .
The regulator found that Mrs Dowdy, who worked for the scientist for 15 years,"failed to provide the standards of good, professional care that we expect and Professor Hawking deserved".Image:Matthew McClelland, director of fitness to practise at the NMC, said:"Mrs Dowdy will no longer be able to practice as a nurse.
"As the public rightly expects, in serious cases such as this - where a nurse has failed in their duty of care and has not been able to evidence to the panel that they have learned from their mistakes and be fit to practise - we will take action.
Now? Omg 🙊 Y... Nothing wasn't done before...... Y now when the man is dead
Hope she wasn't cruel to this fantastic one off genius of a man
Family should be grateful the Prof never complained,they are just hurting a good soul someone with a lot of patience 15years is not a joke.
She looks like Abbott
Looks like HackneyAbbott and jeremycorbyn
15 years and nothing was done, only shows the man was okay with her.
Is it possible that SH was so smart he was deemed dangerous by the state, drugged and diseased, prevented from speakibg through the system he used to communicate? Now they want to get rid of the “handler”?
Dianne Abbott can't do this occupation either.
By the way...99.9% of carers I have met, are amazing beings who go above and beyond with incresingly less tools and staff due to austerity and cuts and greed.
This does not make any sense, we know he had full mental capacity, so if there was a problem he would have communicated that there was? I have been a carer for six years.
What Diana Abbott
Oh dear
Could we have more details please on this story asap
just cant trust some people.
Abbott looking after a white man - thats never going to end well.
He was rich and famous and well respected why not just get someone else ? Why keep her around ? That’s really strange.
Diane Abbott?
Why after he is dead is this coming up now

Stephen Hawking's nurse 'suspended due to serious misconduct over his care'Patricia Dowdy, 61, faces a Nursing and Midwifery Counci ‘fitness-to-practise’ hearing which is due to end later this month after scientist died last year It's a bit late for that isn't it? Thought he had died, but then the mirror was always behind the times, or the guardian or the mail..... So as the hearing is in private and no information about what misconduct has been release how can you classify it as serious. I man died who should have died 50 years ago and this lady has been his nurse for 15 years. Why bring this forward 2 years after his death....
