Nurse Steven Hicks struck off for sexual assault

Steven Hicks, a former NHS nurse, has been officially struck off after being jailed for four-and-a-half years for sexually assaulting an 85-year-old woman in his care. The incident occurred in January 2022 when Hicks visited the woman's home unannounced. He will remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely and is prohibited from working with children and vulnerable adults. A panel from the Nursing and Midwifery Council noted that Hicks continues to deny the assault and has shown no remorse.
