Kara Hannigan was manager of Cardiff and Vale's ECT clinic in 2009 .

She harassed staff, likened the appearance of one to a "prostitute", and created a "degrading" work environment.

A misconduct panel upheld disturbing allegations against Ms Hannigan .

She is still in post at the clinic although last month she was placed under restrictions.

Her fate is set to be decided at a hearing in March .

Ms Hannigan was referred to a fitness to practise hearing by the NMC .

She was accused of bullying and harassment by senior managers at the ECT clinic.

But WalesOnline has seen social media activity from November 2019 in which two senior managers said "we are all so proud of you" for being named runner-up in the Royal College of Nursing's award for nurse of the year in mental health.

The preliminary investigation concluded there was evidence to support allegations of bullying.

But a formal disciplinary hearing was called off by the health board in 2020 .
