"A nurse has admitted to professional misconduct over taking a photo of a surgical team carrying out an organ retrieval procedure in an operating theatre and later posting it on social media. A fitness-to-practise inquiry of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland heard there was no clinical justification for the nurse to take the photograph on May 22, 2023, and to subsequently post it on her Facebook and Instagram accounts."

A nurse admitted to professional misconduct for taking a photograph of a surgical team performing an organ retrieval procedure in an operating theatre and later posting the image on social media. A fitness-to-practise inquiry of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland found there was no clinical justification for taking the photograph. The photograph was taken on May 22, 2023. The image was subsequently posted on both Facebook and Instagram. The inquiry considered the circumstances and the lack of clinical need for the photograph. The conduct raises issues of patient confidentiality, professional standards, and appropriate use of social media by healthcare staff.
