A Dumfriesshire care home worker filmed a dying pensioner and then shared the footage with pals on Snapchat.
Jenna Catherine Maisie Campbell uploaded the clip with the caption: “I’m having to sit with her because her family don’t give a f***”.
The care assistant, who worked at the now closed Singleton Park Care Home at Courance, was suspended by bosses following a separate shocking incident at the facility.
During the same month, in September 2020, she threw a soiled incontinence pad and bedsheet at a colleague – over the top of a bed-bound patient – with it hitting a nearby wall.
Campbell then filmed herself laughing as the other care home employee cleaned up the mess before again sharing the footage on the social media app.
After being suspended for her actions, the carer was accused of launching an attempted cover up by telling a fellow staff member: “If you cover my back, I’ll cover yours”.
She has now been handed a four year warning by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and must abide by a host of conditions to continue working in the care sector.
A decision notice by the SSSC said: “By taking a video of a service user’s breathing while they were receiving end of life care and sharing this, you have failed to uphold the trust and confidence placed in you as a social services worker.
“Further, you have engaged in disrespectful behaviour in the presence of a service user and filmed it to share with others.
“The behavioural issues identified are serious. By intentionally taking videos of service users and sending them to a group chat you have breached fundamental tenets of the profession by failing to protect the dignity of service users in your care.
“These behaviours amount to a pattern of a lack of compassionate care
