Bharat Chauhan attempted to intimidate a patient during a night shift in 2022
A “menacing” nurse locked a vulnerable patient in a hospital toilet to steal her money and altered records to cover his tracks.
A report released by the NMC’s fitness to practise committee said a referral was made regarding Mr Chauhan on June 30, 2022, by a senior sister detailing that he had accompanied patient A to the toilet and removed £160 from her purse. The incident was reported to the safeguarding team and to Merseyside Police who subsequently confirmed that no further action would be taken.
Mr Chauhan said he was “stunned” by the accusation and put the full amount back. Patient A said when she asked for the cash, the agency nurse said “it’s not yours, it’s mine.” The nurse had attempted to suggest patient A was confused about the money because she had been off her oxygen supply longer than usual. This was rejected by the NMC who said this was exaggerated “so as to cover your tracks, because in all likelihood you were concerned about patient A reporting the incident and that in such circumstances your career would be in jeopardy.”
Attempting to take the money however, was regarded as “an act of dishonesty, for personal gain, in a clinical setting, towards a vulnerable patient in a particularly vulnerable situation.” The officials also took a dim view of Mr Chauhan’s attempts to “manipulate” patient A by suggesting she was confused.
