Leonajar Bato Pulido, a nurse in south London, has been removed from the nursing register for sending sexually motivated WhatsApp messages to colleagues. He had previously been suspended for breaching professional boundaries with two nurses in 2019. An investigation revealed that Mr Pulido contacted the nurses both in a professional and personal capacity, with his messages deemed inappropriate and intrusive. The panel highlighted his impaired fitness to practice, ruling that a striking-off order was necessary to safeguard the public, despite Mr Pulido's claims of good intentions and attempts at professional training.
The panel's decision emphasized the necessity of maintaining professional boundaries in the nursing profession, ultimately leading to the striking-off of Nurse Pulido.
Mr Pulido defended his actions by stating he was trying to help his colleagues settle in, but the panel found his intentions were sexually motivated.
