care

The panel heard that Ms Robinson had worked as a mental health nurse at the hospital, which provided in-patient care for men with complex and challenging mental health conditions.

A nurse who admitted having a relationship with an "extremely vulnerable" mental health patient under her care has been suspended for 12 months.

The man, who had been under her care, was described in the hearing as "extremely vulnerable" and "open to manipulation".

She left her son in his care at about 08:45 GMT on 12 January, while she went to an optician's appointment.

Providing this kind of care is complicated by the shortage of behavioral treatment professionals.
