- Kirsty Clements is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Casualty, played by Lucy Gaskell. She first appeared in the twenty-fourth series episode "Russian Endings", broadcast on 15 May 2010. Kirsty is a staff nurse in Holby City Hospital's emergency department (ED). Gaskell was invited to audition by show producers and was successful. She shadowed ED nurses at a local hospital as preparation for the role. Kirsty is characterised as a strong, independent and feisty nurse, who does the best for her patients. She develops close friendships with her colleagues, notably Adam Trueman (Tristan Gemmill), although Kirsty's brash personality also makes her clash with others. The character's backstory and home life was explored, with her husband, Warren Clements (Stephen Lord), and daughter, Nita Clements (Holly Earl), introduced. Kirsty is central to an issue-led domestic violence storyline, in which Warren abuses Kirsty. Gaskell wanted to raise awareness for the issue and portray several aspects of the storyline. She researched the story by speaking to domestic abuse victims. The story climaxes when Warren dies after a confrontation between him, Kirsty and Nita. Gaskell quit her role after a year of filming with the show and Kirsty departs in the twenty-fifth series episode "When You're Smiling", broadcast on 30 July 2011. (en)

- "You see someone who has been controlled in this way suddenly take full control of her life. She met Warren when she was young — she was 17 — so this is the first time Kirsty has said, 'I don’t have to do this every day, I can do whatever I want to do.' It’s the most liberating day of Kirsty’s life. So she picks up her daughter Nita, and they drive off to a happy new start." (en)
- "[That is] a frustrating question for an abuse victim to be asked. The question should be 'Why doesn’t he stop hitting her?' There are so many reasons why people stay in an abusive relationship. In Kirsty's case, it's been because of her daughter Nita, Warren's illness and because she found ways to justify the violence." (en)
