Nurse Struck Off After 'Sex on Night Shifts' on NHS Ward

The Nursing and Midwifery Council said Sullivan’s conduct breached professional standards and public confidence after repeated workplace sex incidents and boundary violations.

  • The Nursing and Midwifery Council struck off mental health nurse Kate Sullivan after a panel found she engaged in sexual activity at Glanrhyd Hospital in Bridgend on three occasions.
  • Sullivan failed to declare a relationship with a colleague between October 2020 and summer 2021, and the panel determined she engaged in sexual activity with Colleague A on March 4, 2021, and twice in January 2022.
  • The panel found Sullivan manipulated shifts to work with Colleague A and "knowingly breached professional boundaries" by allowing a patient into her office with the door closed for around 20 minutes.
  • Striking her from the register, panel chair Alisa Newman stated Sullivan's actions were "significant departures from the standards expected of a registered nurse and are fundamentally incompatible with her remaining on the register."
  • Although Sullivan, who spent seven years with the health board, claimed she would "fabricate stories" to maintain her co-worker's interest, the panel found it "inherently unlikely" she invented the sexual encounters.
