Woman Guilty of Fraud To Get Senior Nursing Job

July 16, 2024

A woman accused of lying about her experience and qualifications to get a job as a senior nurse in a unit for sick and premature babies has been found guilty of fraud.

Tanya Nasir, 45, from Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, was accused of nine counts of fraud and false representation, which she denied.

A jury at Cardiff Crown Court heard how concerns about her qualifications were raised by a matron at Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend who noticed a discrepancy on Ms Nasir’s nursing registration.

She told the hospital she was a major in the British Army reserve force and had been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, but no records to support her claim have been found.
