Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey accused of concealing temperature
The Scottish medical worker, who was infected with the deadly virus while working in Sierra Leone in 2014, is facing a fitness to practise hearing over allegations she gave dishonest answers to medical staff during screening at Heathrow on her return.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which has been investigating Ms Cafferkey’s conduct, alleges that she “allowed an incorrect temperature to be recorded” on December 29, 2014, and “intended to conceal from Public Health England staff that you had a temperature higher than 38C”.
