£57,090 in compensation for unfair dismissal

A nurse has won her unfair dismissal claim against her former nursing home employers and has been awarded £57,090 in compensation. She helped a patient take a photograph of his leaking colostomy bag as he was concerned that no one would take his complaint seriously. The nurse reported the incident to her line manager, showing the photo as evidence. However, another nurse made a complaint about her taking the photograph, which eventually resulted in her being dismissed by her employers.
