Nurse who abused dementia patients struck off
A NURSE who was jailed for abusing elderly dementia patients under his care has been struck from the nursing register.
Jeffery Ednalan's assaults included stuffing a deodorant can in the mouth of a 95-year-old man to stop him shouting and two counts of indecent assault, including touching an 86-year-old woman's breasts. He also ordered seven residents to remain in their unchanged incontinence pads all day "just to save time".
Ednalan, 36, from the Philippines, was found guilty of all charges by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in Edinburgh yesterday.
The panel ordered Ednalan's name to be struck from the register after learning he had been jailed for 15 months for the assaults at Colinton Care Home.
Ednalan was placed on the sex offender's list for ten years when he was convicted at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in May 2007.
The assaults took place between October 2005 and March 2006.
The Filipino national was handed a deportation order in 2007 and failed to appear yesterday.
