Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee decided that mental health nurse Sarah-Jane Swift should be struck off the register. The panel found that on 13 April 2022 she touched a vulnerable colleague's bare chest without his consent during a workplace incident, and that this was sexual in nature and harassed him. The committee found her fitness to practise impaired and imposed a striking-off order on 17 April 2026. An interim suspension order of 18 months was also imposed to cover the appeal period.
