This account will now focus on Adrian Harrop’s tribunal; from the 15th November. Join us, 9.30am on Monday.
The misconduct hearing will inquire into the allegation that Dr Harrop inappropriately used his Twitter account (10/5/18- 23/11/19) to post tweets that were offensive &/or insulting &/or inappropriate in nature & some of which were intended to intimidate.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) is the tribunal service for doctors in the UK. MPTS run hearings, which make independent decisions about whether doctors are fit to practise medicine. mpts-uk.org/hearings-and-d…
Under the Medical Act 1983, a Medical Practitioners Tribunal examines the evidence and decides if:
- the facts alleged have been found proved
- the doctor's fitness to practise is impaired
- any action should be taken.
A tribunal can take no action, place conditions on the doctor's registration, suspend the doctor's registration
or erase the doctor’s name from the medical register, so they can no longer practise. More info here mpts-uk.org/hearings-and-d…
