A PRIEST under investigation over allegations he had a sexual relationship with a patient while working as a nurse is being allowed to continue his ministry.

Reverend Stephen Anthony Sheridan, a curate with the diocese of St Asaph, is alleged to have behaved in an “inappropriate manner” towards patients while working for the NHS in Worthing, West Sussex between 2002 and 2010.

One allegation relates to claims he had a “sexual relationship” with a “vulnerable” patient (known as Patient X), and the other relates to claims he asked another patient to shave his back.

The misconduct allegations, being investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), do not relate to North Wales.
