"Mr Vogler has breached the fundamental tenets of the nursing profession of prioritising people, practising safely, and promoting professionalism and trust in the nursing profession," it said. The panel described him as a "clinically competent nurse", but that his "deep-seated, racist views" were "fundamentally incompatible with remaining on the register"."
