A nurse has admitted to professional misconduct over taking a photo of a surgical team carrying out an organ retrieval procedure in an operating theatre and later posting it on social media.

A fitness-to-practise inquiry of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland heard there was no clinical justification for the nurse to take the photograph on May 22, 2023, and to subsequently post it on her Facebook and Instagram accounts.
