Tawel Fan: Nurse who abused mental health patients struck off

The panel said Mr Lang had told the NMC in January 2023 that he was not interested in engaging with their disciplinary process and had no intention of returning to nursing.

He was referred to the NMC in 2014 by his employer Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) after they suspended him following investigations into practices on the ward.

The health board’s mental health service has been under sustained scrutiny, but Mr Lang is believed to be the first member of staff to be struck off in relation to events at Tawel Fan.

Carol Shillabeer, chief executive of BCUHB, said: “Mr Lang’s actions were appalling – he abused the trust he had as a healthcare professional.

“On behalf of the health board I apologise for the significant distress patients and families have experienced as a result of his actions.”

Asked why the Fitness to Practice process had taken 10 years to complete, Paul Johnson, Deputy Director of Professional Regulation at the Nursing and Midwifery Council, apologised.

“Fitness to practise cases can be complex and there are many factors that can impact the length of time it takes to reach a decision,” he said.
