Thousands of nurses believe it is justified to break the taboo on having an affair with a patient in their care. Almost one in 10 nurses think starting a relationship with one of their patients is acceptable while one in six said they knew of a colleague who had a sexual relationship with a patient they were looking after. The findings will add weight to the controversial remarks by Conservative peer Lord Mancroft that nurses are promiscuous and unprofessional. Mancroft has faced backlash after claiming that nurses discussed their sexual and drinking exploits in front of him while he was being treated at a hospital last summer. The survey’s findings suggest a significant proportion of Britain’s 400,000 nurses are prepared to run the risk of sanctions – which in extreme cases could entail being fired – for sleeping with patients. They also reveal that relationships between nurses and patients are not uncommon.
