Scots nurse avoids being struck off after asking student to perform sex act

A Scots nurse who asked a student mentee to perform a sex act on him to get a good mark on his assessments has escaped being struck off.

Scott Alexander MacPherson subjected a student nurse from the University of Dundee to a barrage of sexual harassment while he was on a five-week placement at the children's unit at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, leaving him to feel "embarrassed" and "uncomfortable".

An inquiry by the Nursing and Midwifery Council has led to his suspension for six months.
