A "deplorable'' nurse who slapped a vulnerable young patient across the face has been suspended for six months.
Nora Badu had been singing with the patient at Oakham House, an adolescent in-patient unit in Leicester, during a night shift almost three years ago.
But after the patient became agitated, she bent down and struck her across the face – hitting her in the mouth and nose.
The nurse was later convicted of assault at Leicester Magistrates' Court.
