A medical tribunal said it was satisfied the evidence showed 51-year-old Alan Hutchinson, who "routinely" did not wear gloves or wash his hands, had risked the health of "himself, staff and patients" for more than 28 years.

I walked over and I was behind him. He moved to the left and I could smell urine," the nurse told the tribunal.
