A NURSE who used Facebook to tell a colleague he was fantasising about her in 'small panties and bras' was struck off.

Andrew Curson posted other comments such as: “I'm sure you'll be good to look at, u in the sun, dressed scantily lol.”

Curson filmed one woman's breasts during an aggression management course he ran at the Royal Blackburn Hospital, it is said.

On another occasion he patted one colleague on the bottom and whispered in her ear 'good girl,' the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told.

Curson worked as a Violence and Aggression Instructor between December 2009 and August 2013 at the Royal Blackburn Hospital for Lancashire Care NHS Trust.

Throughout 2012 he sent a series of Facebook messages to various colleagues, causing 'embarrassment' and 'distress’.

On 8 October 2012 Curson told a colleague he had captured some images of her that he 'wasn't supposed to' when filming a role-play exercise.

Upon striking him off NMC Panel Chair Mary Thomas said: “His misconduct was not an isolated incident but a prolonged period of abuse of staff he was senior to.

“There is no evidence of remediation, reflection or remorse from the registrant. There were no mitigating factors. The offence involved a number of junior and impressionable female colleagues.

“There was significant evidence of deep attitudinal issues which means the risk of repetition is high, particularly as the offences occurred over a period of nine months.

“In view of the sexual nature of your actions and the police caution only a striking off order would maintain public confidence in the nursing profession.”

As a result of the allegations Curson was suspended in April 2013.

During an investigation Curson denied any recollection of any of the accusations.

Curson, who was not present or represented, made no formal admission to any of the charges, including sending inappropriate Facebook messages.
