Nurse awarded GBP45,000 after injuring her back

A nurse has been awarded GBP45,000 in compensation after a court in Newcastle heard how she injured her back while trying to move a faulty hospital bed.

Jacqueline Crowe was forced to leave her job after the accident at South Moor Hospital in Stanley and now the 46-year-old suffers from depression and must take strong painkillers every day.

Durham and Darlington Acute Hospitals NHS Trust expressed its regret and accepted responsibility on the grounds of negligence.

Mrs Crowe, who was supported throughout the claim by Unison, had been a nurse for 20 years before the accident and was injured while trying to move the bed to change the sheets.

The bed brake failed to release, so when she pulled the bed towards her she jarred her back and neck, which brought back a previous injury.
