Worthless whore with zero integrity.
An NHS nurse who took part in a sexual relationship with a patient failed
to call an ambulance when he died in the back of his car with his trousers
down during a secret late night rendezvous, a disciplinary committee has
heard.
Penelope Williams had been having a year-long affair with the dialysis
patient when he suffered heart failure while they were together in a
hospital car park.
Ms Williams, who had hidden the relationship from her managers, failed to
call 999 and instead rang a colleague who turned up and performed CPR, the panel heard. Now, the nurse has been struck off by the Nursing and
Midwifery Council who warned she had “brought the nursing profession into disrepute”.
The panel heard Ms Williams started working for the Betsi Cadwaladr
University Health Board in North Wales as a registered nurse in a renal haemodialysis unit in October 2019.
Her patient – known only as Patient A – was one of the unit’s regulars. Ms Williams and Patient A began a sexual relationship in January 2021 and she
did not tell bosses about it, the panel was told.
In January of the following year, a colleague – known only as Colleague
One – received a phone call from Ms Williams who was “crying and
distressed” and asking for help because “someone had died”, the committee heard. The colleague told her to call an ambulance, but Ms Williams failed
to do so, the panel was told.
The colleague later arrived at the student nursing car park at Spire
private hospital, in Wrexham, where she met Ms Williams and could see
Patient A in the back of a car with his “trousers down”, the committee was told.
Colleague one went to check Patient A who was unresponsive, so she called
999 asking for police and ambulance before starting CPR, the panel heard.
He died from “heart failure and chronic kidney disease triggered by a
medical episode”, the committee was told.
‘He started groaning and suddenly died’
Ms Williams initially told police Patient A had sent her a message on
Facebook explaining he was unwell, and so she “came to meet him”. But she
later admitted she and Patient A were in a sexual relationship and said
they had previously arranged to meet at the car park that evening, the
panel heard.
During a formal meeting with managers, Ms Williams claimed that she met
with Patient A and “sat in the back of his car for about 30-45 minutes
just talking”.
“Mrs Williams denied any sexual relationship. She further explained that Patient A started groaning and suddenly died,” the committee said.
The health board carried out a disciplinary hearing in May 2022 and Ms
Williams admitted to having an intimate relationship with Patient A which
she did not disclose to her employer. The Health Board panel expressed
concern that “Mrs Williams did not call an ambulance following Patient A’s collapse even when Colleague One advised her to” and fired her.
The committee concluded that the nurse’s behaviour breached guidance on
clear sexual boundaries, and struck her off from the register. The panel
said: “Mrs Williams has acted to put patients at risk of harm by failing
to contact emergency services when the patient became unwell and when
prompted by her colleague.
“Mrs Williams has brought the nursing profession into disrepute and
breached one of the fundamental tenets of the profession by engaging in an intimate relationship with a patient in breach of guidance on clear sexual boundaries.”
