Psychiatrist guilty of professional misconduct

A psychiatrist who had sex with patients in his care has been found guilty of professional misconduct for lying about his past when applying to work in Ireland.

Dr Bolarinwa Oluwole had intercourse with women who came to him for psychiatric help while working in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. He also kept a stash of prescription medication, pornography and condoms in his office desk.

Dr Oluwole was struck off the Nova Scotian register in 2012, but just months later turned up looking for work in Ireland. However, he lasted just one day as a locum psychiatrist in the Cavan-Monaghan area before a tip-off led to his past being uncovered.
