Nurses working shifts at a hospital have been told to stop posting racy photos to OnlyFans as it is proving a distraction for their patients.
Industry professionals have heard complaints from those being treated by medical workers posting content to the subscription service app.
Namely members of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of New South Wales, Australia, who received an email regarding the "distraction" they were giving their patients.

An email sent out to members of the Nursing and Midwifery Council slammed those who were uploading "inappropriate" content, which had subsequently been viewed by patients in their care and breached "compliance".
The email read: "Recently, attention has been drawn to the council of inappropriate use of online media content services such as OnlyFans.
"This involves the Council proactively informing practitioners of current trends and promoting compliance with professional standards, including how inappropriate conduct on social media can lead to complaints of unprofessional conduct or misconduct.
"If a practitioner is the content creator, then being recognised or publishing photographs in uniform, they could be reported for their conduct – deemed by the complainant as unprofessional, or as one said, a distraction for patients."
Said email had been titled "OnlyFans – Are you breaching the professional standards by subscribing to online content services?".
Michael Waites, the assistant general secretary of NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association has since said workers need to familiarise themselves with the professional code of conduct, Sydney Morning Herald reported.

He said: "It’s important to note there is no excuse for sexual harassment, especially within a workplace.
"Because someone chooses to participate in online platforms like OnlyFans does not excuse this, not from managers or employers, or from customers or patients."
Nurses have hit back at the general secretary and the email too, with one unnamed email recipient saying: "As a nurse I personally found it very moralising and slut-shaming.
"I found that having a NSW statutory body attempting to regulate what nurses and midwives do in the spare time with their bodies as fairly moralistic …
"I think unless they are tearing off their NSW Health scrubs and talking about how they are a nurse, what damage is it doing to the profession."
