independent.co.uk

Nurse George Eduard Stae avoided suspension after a misconduct panel found his vomiting emoji reply to an LGBTQ+ Pride post discriminatory; he received a 12-month caution. Stae posted 10 vomiting and nauseating face emojis on the Facebook post in June 2021, calling it disturbing. The panel deemed the comment prejudicial. More serious allegations, including threats to kill a doctor, were withdrawn. He expressed remorse, saying he was ashamed. The NMC argued for six months' suspension, but the panel called that disproportionate. His employer had issued a written warning.
