A mental health nurse has been struck off after having sex on three occasions at the hospital where she worked. Kate Sullivan was found by a misconduct panel to have repeatedly engaged in unprofessional behaviour while working at Bridgend’s Glanrhyd Hospital.
Sullivan was based at the hospital’s Rowan ward – an all-male secure rehab unit with a high number of admissions from prison. She had been acting up as a band seven ward manager, her fitness to practise hearing was told.
From October 2020 to summer 2021 she was in a relationship with a colleague which she did not declare to her employer, Swansea Bay University Health Board, which was a breach of workplace policy. Stay in the know by making sure you’re receiving our daily newsletter
She would later admit: “I engaged in a casual relationship with a fellow colleague and he was working as a band two on the ward at that time.”
The panel found Sullivan had sex with this man – referred to only as Colleague A – in their workplace on March 4, 2021, and on January 8 and 17 of the following year.
