A man is set to stand trial after being charged with impersonating a nurse at Glasgow’s super hospital earlier this year.

Lee Woods, 28, was arrested at the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) on 18 July.

It is alleged he was impersonating a member of the nursing staff at the time.

Woods appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court the following day where he faced a charge of breach of the peace.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled to take place on 10 January 2024, with a trial date set for 31 January.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 28-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with impersonating a member of nursing staff at a hospital in Glasgow on Tuesday 18 July.

“He was due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday 19 July. A report was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
