A Scottish nurse was suspended for a sexually suggestive comment about children, deemed a serious breach of professional standards.
A nurse in Fife, Scotland, was suspended after making a sexually suggestive remark about children during a workplace conversation in July 2022, claiming it was a joke from comedian Ricky Gervais, who denied making the statement.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council tribunal found the comment, “if they can bleed, they can breed,” was part of a broader inappropriate discussion involving children, occurring in a public area where others could have overheard.
The panel ruled the remarks demonstrated a serious lack of professional judgment, violated healthcare standards, and risked harming the profession’s reputation.
The incident followed another disciplinary issue that day involving unprofessional conduct during a staffing dispute.
The nurse remains suspended pending further action.
