A nurse has admitted an elaborate scheme to falsify already generous employment references for positions overseas. But his ruse was uncovered and now he’s finding it impossible to get a job. Conrado Santos applied for two positions in Queensland and successfully asked two line managers to provide written references. Mr Santos altered their written words and set up fake email accounts purporting to belong to his two managers, from which he sent his polished-up versions. He removed references to previous misconduct over abusing sick leave entitlements and turned the straightforward musings of his line managers into purple prose. At a Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal hearing he admitted four charges of professional misconduct. He was censured by the tribunal, fined $1000 and ordered to complete a code of conduct programme before he returned to the profession.

A Sydney hospital is under pressure to explain why it sacked a whistleblower who had reported the alleged indecent assault of a sedated patient within an acute mental health unit. Security guard Brendan Osmond had worked for 23 years at St Vincent’s hospital in inner Sydney before he was dismissed from his position as a supervisor earlier this year. The sacking came after Mr Osmond reported that he witnessed a fellow security guard touch the breast of a patient during a pat-down in the hospital’s acute psychiatric ward seclusion room.
