To think if you’re regulated by the HCPC then you shouldn’t go on Naked Attraction?

[Ponddering]

AIBU?

[underneaththeash]

Different health care professions have different rules.
In mine it may come into "bringing the profession into disrepute" - but unless there were a lot of us at the same time and in full uniform, I'm not sure.
Which profession?

[MushyPeasAreTheDevilsFood]

Op. Which professions do you think should go on?

[BitOfFun]

Everybody has a job though (unless you mean only the unemployed should appear on the show). It's not like she's the Archbishop of Canterbury.

[LaurieFairyCake]

Yep they had a teacher on

Loads of other professions too ...

[EnthusiasmIsDisturbed]

I’d say it brings the profession into disrepute and it shows a lack of professionalism, and poor judgement, for a start...

I don’t think so at all I think it just makes the person look very desperate for their 15 minutes of fame

[BatShite]

I genuinely cannot fathom why anyone, ever would want to go on that show. Seems bizarre that people would wat to, mind dating type shows baffle me a bit to start with really, but a naked dating show?!

[CrazyToast]

If she is a student nurse she will definitely lose her place because of that. They are INCREDIBLY strict about what you do in public and online and monitor everyone.

[ineedaholidaynow]

Can’t imagine what school would be like on Monday morning if you are a teacher and had been on Naked Attraction over the weekend.

[MargotLovedTom1]

You'd have to be exceptionally confident and/or exhibitionist to go on national television stark bollock naked in the full knowledge that your patients/students/boss/colleagues/neighbours/granny might well see you. Presumably these contestants simply don't care, and therefore facing hundreds of sniggering pupils at school on a Monday morning wouldn't faze them. Same with being hauled over the coals for bringing their profession into disrepute.

[Ponddering]

It was a male student nurse and I agree he has shown incredibly poor professional judgement.

[SarahBellam]

It’s just a body. I’d rather they went on that than Miranda or Mrs Brown’s Boys.

[Ohtherewearethen]

OP, please could you give examples of people who have unimportant enough jobs to go on the show? Who is and isn't allowed on?

[cansu]

It is a shit show so don't watch it. I don't see why a nurse should have to live to different standards of television to anyone else!

[disgruntled515]

I agree that it's incredibly poor judgement. It's not a neutral documentary where they discuss anatomy in an educational way. Seems a safeguarding issue to me

[slipperywhensparticus]

@Ponddering

It isn’t just being naked, as well you all know with the faux naïveté!

Umm I don't watch it

[oakwood13]

Never mind the profession, it's an awful show. I think the worst bit of the one episode I saw was the comments about vulvas (not the words they used).

[HappyHammy]

Its a silly show but compulsive viewing the first time. After that its just nonsense. They all look better when they put their clothes on. Did he find true love.

[MushyPeasAreTheDevilsFood]

Seems a safeguarding issue to me

In what way?

[x2boys]

I think it's a bizarre show and don't know why anyone would go on it tbh regardless of their job/ profession .

[sbhydrogen]

I really couldn't give a toss about who goes on this show. If you work with kids it'd be a bad idea, and teachers of primary, secondary and sixth form. But nobody should be thrown from their career for something as simple as being on a TV show.

[LochJessMonster]

I think you obviously have a vendetta against this poor guy.

As long as he wasn’t stripping from his scrubs or wearing his ID, I can’t see anything wrong with it professionally.

[PineconeOfDoom]

I wouldn’t go on it, but I don’t see how it is bring the profession into disrepute. And why would it be a safeguarding issue??

[TheRealShatParp]

It’s a terrible show and I cannot understand why anyone would want to be on it. However nurses aren’t the only people that might be taken less seriously by being on the show. I’m not sure about it being unprofessional though.

[TheRealShatParp]

Please don’t report the poor guy to the NMC, OP. Not sure if you had planned to.

[maudspellbody]

I do actually think it would be an issue for a teacher in that it could probably impact their work. I think they would lose the respect of their students and that's all they would want to talk about in lessons. Yes - an excellent teacher could probably get past it, but it would make the job harder.

Not sure about anyone else, though.
