There is no Jonathan Harrow on the nursing register. It is illegal to be employed in a registered nurses role when you are not on the register. Either he’s LARPing, or the Trust employing him is also breaking the law.

Hey NHS, what about a 'don't bring your fetish to work day'?

His Linked In says he is a doctor and vaccinator. Not a nurse. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jon-harrow-b81a9049

I vote for LARPer/fantasist

I mean, look at all those concurrent employments.

Not to mention the ones listed in this profile which don't appear in the one above.

Ah, the old nurse fetish. But his time, turned on its head. The AGP man becomes the object of his desire. For gods sakes, female nurses wear scrubs -- pants and top. They don't wear skirts. Pure fetish.

He's like those men who used to go to fancy dress parties, dressed in the sort of nurses' uniform that only exists in 'Carry On' films. Makes my flesh crawl.

With the usual and expected caveat that, yes, there are many wonderful, caring and committed health professionals, I have come across plenty of (generally male) doctors who are either clueless about women's particular health needs, indifferent, or even sadistic. I speak from the experience of being a patient in the US and within the NHS systems. Neither system is stellar and each is bad in its own way. With this particular character, Harrow, I'd go with sadistic but with an added dose of entitlement. He will now be emboldened by a class of bureaucrats in the 'caring' industry who, in a rape crisis centre, for example, hector women at their lowest points about reframing their trauma and 'educating themselves', just as he also did when he took it upon himself to educate this young woman patient here. And then there's the presence of Stonewall in the NHS, never backwards about coming forwards when it spots an easy mark to shake down with its Diversity Champions racket. This and the other stories are yet further examples of the arrogance of health professionals who fail to centre the patient, all backed up by the complacency of the institution itself, and which takes advantage of a population that is supposed to be eternally grateful, no matter what harm the NHS might do. These are examples of safeguarding issues nervously put aside by weak management to accommodate a new, sacred class. A disaster is waiting to happen. Although, as Emma Nicholson explained in the House of Lords, the disaster is already now and happening.

Hmm, there is no such thing as a trans female,

Jonathan's lack of basic biology knowledge is concerning for a nurse.

Funny how one word gets co-opted to mean something different and that becomes accepted by the chattering classes, another word is also rapidly colonised.

That uniform is suspect too, never seen anyone wear one like that in years. Things missing too. Nurse Practitioners at the North West London University Trust wear Navy blue with red piping. He’s LARPing, it’s a fetish but claiming to be an RN, and his so called ticking off of a patient is unprofessional and puts real RNs in a bad light.

Asleep at the wheel, the lot of them. This has ALL unravelled on their watch.

I find it very hard to believe that a woman asking to be seen by a female nurse would accept this person treating her. Therefore I call bullshit, and await further posts from the ladies where a ‘cis’ woman asks to borrow a tampon…

I wonder if the Trust he claims to work for is aware of his social media posts. It does them no favours.

Liverpool women's hospital is apparently in consultation to drop the qord women's.

I have made a complaint to the RCN, telling them one of their non-nursing members is passing themselves off as an RN on social media. You can do the same here. https://www.rcn.org.uk/contact/Complaints-form
