In a post disclosed on ‘X’ renown influencer and abroad based doctor, @drolufunmilayo, said it is unprinciple in the UK for nurses to bring in religion while rendering their duties.

He stated that even if a patient asks a nurse to pray for him or her, it is obligated of the nurse to ask the patient to seek a cleric instead, as it is against the practice of praying for patients

Olufunmilayo added that he shared the story to forewarn Nigerian medical practitioners relocating to the UK from praying for patients
