Nurse who dragged elderly woman through care home to urine-stained bed struck off
28.01.2022 - 16:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A nurse who dragged an elderly woman through a care home and put her in a urine-stained bed has been struck off from the nursing register.
Mamello Herring was caught dragging Angelina Lanera, 85, through the nursing home by a secret camera.
Angelina's son Michael had hidden the device in his mother's room at Claremont House Care Home, Halifax, after he suspected that she was being treated poorly, as reported by Yorkshire Live.
The footage revealed Angelina crying and screaming as Herring, alongside carer Maria Jackson, manhandled the pensioner to her bed with her underwear around her ankles.
On January 28, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) stripped Herring of her license and banned her from the profession for 18 months.
The decision came a year after Herring was previously sentenced to an 18-month community order and told to do 250 hours unpaid work by a judge at Bradford Crown Court last year.
The 56-year-old didn't attend the NMC hearing, but a panel took just two days to deliver their verdict.
The panel heard how Angelina was "physically frail, had reduced mobility, suffered from dementia, psychosis and was partially blind".
She used a walking frame and needed the help of two members of staff to go to the toilet.
"She also required careful and calm explanations when interventions were taking place," said the report.
But on December 1, 2018, Angelina was subjected to vile treatment at the hands of Herring and Jackson.
The pair pulled Angelina across the floor using a 'drag lift' technique as they scooped her up under the armpits. The practice is banned as it often causes injuries, but it didn't stop the two members of staff from subjecting Angelina to the humiliating act.
They then left her in her bed, covered in urine.

Children and youth will be protected from “messages conveyed through certain symbols,” the decision stated, without elaborating.Turkey’s media watchdog, the Supreme Council of Radio and Television, already has wide-ranging powers, and can fine media or order temporary blackouts for television channels that are mostly critical of the government for violating Turkish values.
