The head nurse at a Kensington aged care facility has been formally reprimanded for burning an 89-year-old after washing her in bleach. Former Castellorizian Aged Care Services care manager Helena Bennett was disciplined by the Health Care Complaints Commission for conduct which resulted in burns to the patient over five days in July 2014. The NSW Nursing and Midwifery Professional Standards Committee has now upheld the decision by the HCCC. In disciplining Ms Bennett, the committee imposed restrictions but did not revoke her registration.
