London-based dental nurse struck off for fraud
Linda Alyson Fernandes was convicted of six counts of fraud by false representation. Between January and May 2012, she used a spare set of keys for the ‘Aqua Dental Spa’ in Manchester Square in London to enter the premises without authorisation in order to use a credit card machine to transfer money from the Practice’s account to her own personal account. Through this and other methods she fraudulently obtained money from the Practice totalling a sum of at least £3,382.00.
