Male nurse struck off for inappropriate relationships

The High Court has confirmed a decision by the Nursing and Midwifery Board to de-register a male nurse found guilty of allegedly engaging in inappropriate relationships with two patients.

After a fitness to practice inquiry held by the independent regulatory body over four days in 2013 and 2014, the nurse was found guilty of “very serious” and repeated episodes of professional misconduct.

The inquiry found the former nurse had engaged in inappropriate relationships with two patients when he worked in two different care facilities.
