Nurse awarded huge payout after colleague missed her on tea round
- Nurse Susan Hamilton was awarded £41,000 by a tribunal after accusing her colleague, Abdool Nayeck, of bullying behaviour.
- The tribunal heard that Mr. Nayeck excluded Ms. Hamilton from tea rounds, ignored her in meetings, and told her "I don't like you" after a disagreement about patient care.
- Ms. Hamilton left her job in 2019 due to stress, returned in 2021, and later resigned again, citing a breach of contract and loss of trust.
- The tribunal upheld grievances against the hospital trust for failing to address Mr. Nayeck's behavior, which significantly impacted Ms. Hamilton's well-being.
- The judge acknowledged Ms. Hamilton's distress and the impact on her career as a "gifted nurse".
