Is it legal for a nurse to send messages to someone they know has filed a complaint against them?

Question

I wonder if anyone could advise if there is anything i can do legally.
I put in a complaint about a nurse that broke confidentiality and passed on personal information to someone that they shouldn’t of.
This nurse has found me on Facebook and has sent me messages re the complaint.
The last sentence of her message says she cant put what she really thinks of me because she would get arrested. (She is no longer employed by the company that we put the complaint into)
Is there anything i can do re the messages im getting - i haven’t replied to them

NQ if she is a registered nurse contact the NMC and lodge a formal complaint. They can in some cases revoke her registration. Also if you think she is threatening you go to the police

Answer

NQ - this would likely fall under your complaint.

Is your complaint soley to the company or have you made a NMC complaint against them?

Nq but law degree. Snap shot the messages and keep a copy of them. Then block her. Continue to keep a record of any correspondence so you can add this to the complaint.

Prefix all comments with your qualifications or NQ

Answer

NQ- registered nurse. Keep the messages and use as evidence to add to your existing complaint. Report to NMC as this breaches code of contact as well. Good luck hope you are ok.

Answer

NQ - Registered nurse. Screenshot all of the relevant messages and the original complaint and report it to our governing body, the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council). This breaches our code of conduct.

Once you've screenshotted all the messages block her profile so she can no longer contact you.

I'm sorry this has happened to you.

Answer

Nq . Get in touch with information commissioners office they deal with data breaches and govern what is legal etc.

Answer

Nq but work for the police, depending on what she messaged can be deemed as a malicious communications offence. Call 101 and seek advice
