AN investigation is ongoing amid allegations a Bradford nurse shared patients’ highly-sensitive personal details on Snapchat.
It came to light last month, when the Telegraph & Argus had sight of images of posts purporting to have been made by a student nurse.
In one of the images seen by the T&A, the poster appeared to confirm the identity of one of the patients in their care when asked by another user of the social media platform.
In a separate post, the user apparently shared a picture of a patient’s medical notes with the message ‘I don’t get paid enough for this job’. Another post appeared to show a selfie with Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) tagged as the location.
When asked for an update on the matter, a spokesperson for Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust told the T&A: “An investigation into this incident is ongoing and the member of staff concerned is currently not working at the Trust.”
