Trans Liaison Nurse and previous chair of Pride struck off nursing over ‘sexual’ examinations

I will try to link the article. This is a case of a minority of a minority doing the kind of thing that people may be weary of. The LGBT community are swimming against the tide and stories like this will only amplify the concerns already being expressed.

Wtf is a trans liason nurse

MrsOvertonsWindow · 20/01/2026 19:31

Those poor children.
And he's another paedophile chair of pride?! Wonder what he got up to in that role?

I suspect a trans liaison nurse is someone who can offer advice support to trans people and also advise staff about their responsibilities and the law if there was a trans patient on their ward (for example single sex bays etc). Clearly this man isn’t fit to be in any job, but I can see why someone being a trans liaison nurse is a good thing.

Only if they understand the actual law and not spew the law according to Stonewall.

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 20/01/2026 19:36

So they warned him, knowing he shouldn’t have been doing those examinations and he knew he shouldn’t but then just let him carry on?!’

Absolutely disgusting.

ProfessorRedshoeblueshoe · 20/01/2026 19:38

Why the hell wasn't he suspended the first time he was caught ?

MrsColinRobinson · 20/01/2026 19:43

Thanks for posting the link OP.

This is my local hospital and deeply concerning to know he was enabled to continue his known abuse, and he's grifting under a joke role too.

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 20/01/2026 19:44

I hate these minimising headlines it should read "paedophile nurse sexually assaulted and molested child patients"

It also blows my mind when they realised what he was sexually abusing children rather whistle blow and suspend and investigate... they nicely asked if he'd mind stopping.... and to absolutely no ones surprise...he continued to molest and sexually abuse children.

Absolutely disgusting.

Warned him twice according to the article! Absolutely ridiculous, who on earth made the decision to carry on allowing him to be anywhere near children after one warning never mind two

Is he in jail yet?

I think this is it off the nmc?

Well said.

He was told TWICE not to perform intimate examinations on children but he continued. He should have been sacked and reported to the police as soon as the hospital management became aware of what he’d done the first time.

Revolting paedophile. Should be in prison.

user1471538275 · 20/01/2026 20:52

I'm so angry about this.

Intimate examinations on children are not generally a nurses role. It is understood that even when necessary it can be distressing for children and their family and so examination is minimised where possible, not duplicated - so only one clinician would need to check if there is an issue and only when it is specifically clinically necessary.

They are certainly not an ADULT nurses role - they should only have a very limited role, understanding they are working beyond the scope of their own practice and always under supervision of a children's nurse.

I cannot believe that having been informed that he had done this he was not immediately stopped from ever working within a children's setting again - it is entirely the fault of the management that they allowed this to happen to another child.

CarefulN0w · 20/01/2026 20:59

So the RCN thought this paedophile who committed multiple assaults was worthy of defending. Obviously a far less serious offence than a woman suggesting a six-foot bloke shouldn’t be in the female changing room.

user1471538275 · 20/01/2026 21:06

Agree the unions are happy to defend anyone but nurses who believe biology is real and important.

Wannabeblueysmum · 20/01/2026 21:07

I don't understand why this abuser hasn't been arrested

Headline might have changed some OP shared, it now says: "Swindon nurse struck off over ‘sexual’ examinations of child patients".

He "also goes by the name Rhys Cronin" - what a surprise, sexually abusive men hide behind different names.

Very telling isn't it. The RCN - who apparently can choose which members they want to support - choose a paedophile over women not wanting to undress in front of a man.

Asfor the hospital - imagine giving a paedophile a second chance when you've evidence of him inappropriately touching children? Why is it that these men get opportunity after opportunity sanctioned by other members of the medical profession.

Starch1e · 20/01/2026 21:17

@CarefulN0w @user1471538275 @MrsOvertonsWindow

Where did you see that the RCN union defended or represented him? In PP's copy from NMC hearing it says he was not present and unrepresented. Is it reported somewhere else?

CarefulN0w · 20/01/2026 21:17

@MrsOvertonsWindow isn’t it just. Right now I am ashamed to be an RCN member. I have been struggling since they refused to defend SP, but this is a whole new level of crap. Unfortunately, unison is no better. I wonder if the Darlington Union would have me?

CarefulN0w · 20/01/2026 21:19

@Starch1e it’s set out in the full hearing transcript. Boyd didn’t attend the hearing, but his union rep did.

Haulage · 20/01/2026 21:22

He was interviewed by police over the allegations, but it’s not clear what action was taken. Wiltshire Police has been approached for comment – updates follow.

From the article, which has been archived for posterity <a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260120211824/www.wiltshire999s.co.uk/swindon-nurse-struck-child-patients/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20260120211824/www.wiltshire999s.co.uk/swindon-nurse-struck-child-patients/

I hope Wiltshire police take action!

Presumably they're recruiting? Do Affinity work in healthcare? I know several people who've dumped their anti women union for them:
