Helga Rósa Másdóttir, the chairperson of the Icelandic Nurses Association, has voiced her sadness regarding the conviction of nurse Steina Árnadóttir for manslaughter due to negligence linked to a patient's death in 2021 at Landspítali psychiatric ward. The conviction was confirmed by the Landsréttur court, following an initial ruling in district court, and Steina plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. Helga Rósa emphasized the potential far-reaching consequences this ruling could have not only on Steina's career but also on the nursing profession broadly, underlining the importance of due process in investigations related to healthcare incidents.
