A nurse caught sleeping during a night shift at a care home has been suspended for a year.

Carole Spencer was criticised for her actions by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, which could have had "serious consequences" for the elderly residents in her care.

However, as reported in the Daily Telegraph, Spencer consistently denied the allegations and failed to show any remorse.
