Midwife struck off after 'number of clinical failings'
Local Democracy Reporting Service
A midwife from Bristol has been struck off "to protect the public", the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has said.
Jane Woodward was working for the North Bristol NHS Trust when she administered a painkiller to a patient in December 2012 and forged a colleague's signature to claim she had also been present.
The following summer, Mrs Woodward wrote the wrong patient's name on an infusion bag and incorrectly labelled the drug and the dosage.

Mrs Woodward was not represented at an NMC hearing, her fifth since she was suspended in 2014.
She said in an email that she was now working as a healthcare assistant and did not intend to return to midwifery in the near future.

Woman trapped in M49 crash

Damien Hirst is making 50 staff at his company Science
Ltd redundant across its locations in Gloucestershire and London.
The job cuts are understood to be mostly in finance and
IT.
A spokesman for the company said:
"These changes are not driven by a need to reduce
costs but by his desire to cut the corporate elements of the business to
get back to a simpler way of working focusing on his art."
Damien Hirst has several studios in Chalford near Stroud.

Lydbrook Rail Bridge, known locally as the Black Bridge, was built in 1875 for the railway, but, when the line closed in 1964, it was turned into a walkway before shutting in 2016 due to safety concerns.
An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund to repair the bridge was turned down in July.
But Herefordshire Council says work to make the structure safe for people on the river below has allowed engineers to devise a safe, short-term solution to reopen a temporary walkway.
Three teenage boys have been arrested over an attack in Swindon earlier this summer, police have said.
Three 18-year-old men and an 18-year-old woman were injured on Vistula Crescent after leaving the Asda at the Orbital Shopping Centre at around 01:30 on Saturday 28 July.
A bike saddle was used as a weapon and one of the victims was left with a fractured eye socket, a broken nose and broken ribs.
