Nottinghamshire care worker jailed for neglecting patient who died

Welch, of Laurel Close, Shirebrook, falsely recorded the observations every 10 minutes in a log, according to Nottinghamshire Police.

Police said an inquest in 2022 found Ms Rose had most likely died by her own hand, but could not determine her intent.

Welch later admitted one count of wilful neglect by a care worker.

In a statement, Ms Rose’s parents said their “beautiful, fun-loving, caring and intelligent daughter” died “in what should have been the prime of her life”.

They added: “Amelia would have had her whole life ahead of her if she had been given the help she so desperately pleaded for, but in three short days of admission to Millbrook, due to the complete lack of care by Rebecca Welch, she was left to die unnecessarily.

“We will never see the wonderful person she would have become, a loving daughter, sister, aunty and potentially a mother. Our lives will never be the same again.”
