- A mental health nurse was jailed for four years after failing to carry out required five‑minute checks on 22‑year‑old patient Amy Barber and falsifying records; CCTV showed she hadn’t checked on Amy for 25 minutes.
- Amy, who had complex mental health needs and a history of self‑harm, died after being found unresponsive; her mother urged that the system learn from the case.
- The court found the nurse lied in records and held a grudge against Amy; the defence pointed to understaffing, but the jury rejected that claim.
