A midwife has been struck off after an inquiry into her aggressive behaviour.

Olabisi Ajala - who asked 'is that part of my job' when a father asked to have his newborn baby weighed - has been kicked out of the profession.

The midwife acted so aggressively the father felt unable to leave his child in her care at Northwick Park Hospital in Watford Road, Harrow, in December 2011.

Later the same day, she demanded to take a break when a patient required an emergency C-section, the Nursing and Midwifery Council heard.

She had also failed to top up an epidural painkiller in a timely manner the previous day, and afterwards did not update the patient's records, and had also failed to record care for another patient in November 2011.

She has been struck off and issued with an interim suspension order for 18 months so she cannot practise during any appeal period.
