A nurse who faked 50 shifts over two years to steal nearly £20,000 from the NHS has been struck off the nursing register. Faith Chareka, who worked in A&E, claimed extra pay and 540 hours of unpaid time off she never earned. Her fraud, deemed repeated and planned, endangered patient care by causing understaffing and extra strain on colleagues. She pleaded guilty, received an 18-month suspended sentence, and was fired in 2023. Despite expressing remorse, the Nursing and Midwifery Council deemed her actions too severe to allow her to continue practicing — she’s now under interim suspension while any appeal plays out.
