A nurse has been struck off for lying to a tribunal in a desperate bid to save her job, posing as her boss on email and writing a glowing reference letter for herself. What the tribunal didn’t know at the time, however, was that during the Nursing Council investigation and subsequent hearing, she created a fake email address, sent them false emails posing as her then-employer, including a fake reference letter. The nurse had used the same fake email address to communicate with her lawyer pretending to be her boss, she said.
