The UK's nursing regulator has renewed practicing conditions on a senior nurse at the Abbotswood Nursing Home.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council reviewed an interim order made on the home's director and chief nurse Zandra Joanne Lewis, and renewed professional constraints placed on her last year.

An interim conditions of practice order prevents her from being in sole charge of a shift, or take part in recruiting nurses.

The NMC's investigating committee says it's looking at whether to proceed with further sanctions in response to allegations against her.
