Panel reaches decision in case of former Shropshire hospital ward manager who faced several allegations
A panel has reached its decision in the case of a former Shropshire hospital ward manager who faced several allegations.
Debbie Povall already admitted to failing to preserve patient safety by working excessive hours during her time at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Gobowen, near Oswestry, between June 2018 and June 2019.
She also admitted sending a text message to another colleague saying: “I had to stop myself from […] as I would rather gauge her eyeballs out and shove them down her throat.”

Ms Povall was referring to someone referred to in a fitness to practise substantive hearing as “Colleague C”.
However, she denied all the other allegations she faced.
