Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Albert Emueze was employed by Guys & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust as a Band 5 community nurse from 11 May 2015 until his dismissal for gross misconduct on 15 June 2021. The allegations concerned his conduct towards patient X in October 2020, including alleged inappropriate physical contact, sexually orientated comments, WhatsApp communication from his personal phone, and failure to wear PPE. The respondent investigated the allegations, relied in part on a prior April 2020 improvement notice concerning professional boundaries, held a disciplinary hearing on 19 May 2021, and upheld all allegations before dismissing summarily. The appeal was rejected.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
