In December 2021, Timea Buzas was working at the St Nicholas vaccination centre in Sutton. During her shift, she decided to show her colleagues some photos from a recent photoshoot she had done. However, things took a turn when it was revealed that these photos were of a sexual nature. A colleague reported that Buzas had approached them and another colleague in the staff area, asking if they wanted to see the photos. Despite their polite decline, Buzas proceeded to show them three photos on her phone.
The panel investigating the case stated that Buzas had intentionally shown her colleagues these photos in order to get a reaction from them. It was also noted that the colleagues she showed the photos to were much more junior than her and there was no pre-existing friendship between them. This incident was not the only one that occurred during Buzas' time at the vaccination centre. Just days earlier, she had been aggressive towards a patient and even refused to give them a Covid-19 vaccine.
The patient who was on the receiving end of Buzas' aggression described the encounter as hostile and confrontational. They also mentioned that Buzas had torn down posters from a nearby wall in a fit of anger. Buzas' behavior was described as aggressive and she seemed ready for a fight. The patient and their fiancé were left feeling intimidated and confused by her actions. They also stated that Buzas had shared her personal phone number with a patient under the age of 18 and had sent them messages with love hearts.
As a result of these incidents, Buzas was suspended from her job for a total of nine months. This came after she had already been given an 18-month interim suspension order. In her defense, Buzas was described as a caring and committed nurse who had previously demonstrated safe practice. The panel also took into consideration that Buzas had expressed regret and frustration over her behavior at the Roehampton Vaccination Centre.
In light of this case, it is clear that Buzas' actions were unacceptable and have consequences. It is important for healthcare professionals to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times, especially when dealing with vulnerable patients. Let this be a reminder to all healthcare professionals to uphold the highest standards of conduct and always prioritize the well-being of patients.
