An NHS worker from Manchester died with Covid-19 months after achieving his dream to become a registered mental health nurse, but never got to work a single day with his qualification.
Father-of-four Oronsaye Okhomina, also known as Jeff or Orons, died aged 56 on February 11 after the sudden onset of Covid in early January had put him into an induced coma at North Manchester General Hospital.
After trading in a career in IT and almost 10 years working as a student nurse and mental health support worker, he took his final qualifications to become a registered mental health nurse in December 2020.
Waiting to start work with Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust as a qualified nurse, the final results for Mr Okhomina’s exams and his Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) PIN were released in January – whilst he was in a coma.
