Dates of case

Dr Mary-Teresa Deignan represented an orthopaedic surgeon charged with dishonestly failing to disclose, in response to an express question on an application form, that he was being investigated by the GMC for sexually motivated conduct towards a patient, an investigation which was subsequently the subject of findings and for which he was suspended for 12 months. A combined hearing took place remotely over three days via Skype for business of the review of the suspension order and the substantive hearing of the dishonesty charges. The dishonesty charges were admitted. The MPTS found misconduct but that the doctor showed significant insight into his dishonest conduct and found impairment solely on the ground of public interest and imposed a suspension order for two months with no review.
