A GREENOCK man has admitted committing a breach of the peace by impersonating a nurse at Scotland's largest hospital.

Lee Woods, 28, wore NHS clothing and a badge at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital between March and July 2023.

Court papers state Woods - who was not an employee - conducted himself in a disorderly manner and repeatedly attended the hospital.

Woods also repeatedly attended the resuscitation and children's areas while wearing the clothing.

He pleaded guilty to the single charge at Glasgow Sheriff Court today.

A schedule of previous convictions was passed to the sheriff by prosecutor Iain Mathieson.

Patrick Brechany, defending, told the court: "The circumstances are highly unusual.

"I wonder if the court would benefit from a criminal justice social work report for this matter."

Sheriff David Taylor agreed and deferred sentence until the end of February, when more information surrounding the circumstances of the case is expected to be heard.

Woods had his bail continued meantime.
