A healthcare assistant who did not check on a patient who took her own life has been jailed for negligence.
Rebecca Welch was tasked with checking on the welfare of Amelia Rose, 31, every 10 minutes at the Millbrook Mental Health Unit, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, on 31 January 2020.
Welch was told to check from 13:00 GMT, but CCTV showed she failed to carry out any checks before Ms Rose was found at 13:53 and taken to hospital, where she died the next day.
At Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday, the 30-year-old was sentenced to one year in prison.
