Nurse who put newborns at risk banned from looking after sick babies
14.01.2022 - 16:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A nurse has been banned from working on wards with newborn babies for two years after a watchdog after removing tots with extremely low oxygen levels from their incubators.
Paul Devine, from Bonnyrigg in Midlothian, admitted his care had been "extremely subpar" as he worked in neonatal wards across Scotland, including at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The health worker - registered as a nurse for over 20 years - was hauled before a watchdog earlier this month to test whether he could return to work in the field after being suspended for a year.
Devine was suspended from working as a nurse after he admitted removing two newborn babies from their incubators and failing to recognise that their oxygen saturation levels had dropped.
Incubators are used to support premature and seriously ill newborn babies with essential life functions such as breathing or to allow them to continue growing in a safe environment outside of the womb.
Around the same time Devine switched off a "red urgent" alarm on a third baby's heart rate and oxygen monitor - ignoring that its oxygen levels were dropping.
In all three incidents, between April and August 2017, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) watchdog said the tots "required urgent attention".
Following the incidents the nurse was put on an HR-mandated course by NHS bosses to ensure he was safe to work with newborns.
But he failed to demonstrate to his managers he could provide "safe, effective" care.
As a result, the NMC banned him from nursing work for a year - but says it is now willing to give him a chance to prove he can work safely in such roles again.
After reviewing his circumstances earlier this month, the regulator has eased Devine's ban to only cover neonatal wards.

A Nurse’s Reflections on Working Through COVID-19
By Blade MandersImagine this; life is pretty good, you’re working an amazing job, caring for some of the most incredible and vulnerable people and then one day, on the drive home from what can only be described as a pretty unremarkable night shift, you hear a story on the news about a virus.Like you do with most things you see or hear on the radio, news or , you think nothing of it.Only, news of this virus spreads fast and hot, with numbers increasing daily; it isn’t long before this virus makes world headline news “Coronavirus has now been classed as a global pandemic.”That is when everything changed. Over the past two years, I have been tested.COVID-19 destroyed my goal of becoming a nurse in Scotland at one of the largest tertiary hospitals in Europe; it made me question my integrity.
