One in six WA Health Department employees claim to have been subjected to bullying or harassment in the previous 12 months, according to a survey.

One-third of those surveyed believed that behaviour within the department was not always “ethical and honest.” It follows a previous poll in 2016, and separate surveys of clinical staff by the department and the Australian Medical Association WA which revealed poor morale and culture.

A sleazy male nurse who hit on former patients and went as far as stalking one after their relationship ended, has been stripped of his right to practise. Glenn Scott was deregistered last month by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia after it was found he repeatedly attempted to establish personal or romantic relationships with women he met while on the job. The board heard the women were vulnerable and many were receiving treatment for addiction when he met them. It was also noted Mr Scott was previously the subject of disciplinary proceedings related to patient care and professional boundary violations, but he continued to offend anyway. In the case before the board last month, six women from two different clinics were subjected to his advances between 2012 and 2015. One woman was a patient under Mr Scott’s care at a clinic in Melbourne’s inner east, and the board was told his common method of approach included contacting them via social media, text or email. He also visited Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings some of the women attended. In 2016 he was found guilty by the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for stalking one former patient he’d had a two-year sexual relationship with between 2012 and 2014. He was fined $1500 without conviction for the offence. In handing down their decision last month, the board said other offending by Mr Scott stretched as far back as 2009, where he had sex with a former patient and supplied her with medication he was not authorised to give her.
