A mental health nurse has been cautioned for handing a patient a razor blade, which she then cut herself with.
Katherine Quinn was working at the Antelope House mental health unit in Southampton when it took place.
A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearing in London found she was still fit to keep practicing but gave her a one-year caution order.
The panel heard that self-harm is used by some mental health trusts as a form of therapeutic intervention.
