Good afternoon from Manchester on Dr Adrian Harrop's fitness to practice hearing.

Adrian Harrop will be abbreviated to AH. GMC’s barrister is Ryan Donoghue (RD) and Dr Adrian Harrop’s barrister is Giles Powell(GP). We will start sometime after 2pm.
See the GMC info on Fitness to Practice
gmc-uk.org/-/media/docume…
This is the Sanctions Guidance the tribunal will be using in their determination:
gmc-uk.org/-/media/docume…
The tribunal may decide to:
- impose conditions on AH's GMC registration as a doctor for up to three years and/or
- suspend his registration for up to 12 months

It is unlikely that they will erase his name from the medical register.
Depending on the tribunal's decision on sanctions, the hearing may close today or continue in session for another day this week.

We will be going in soon.
A reminder on the tribunal's conclusions,
Decision was handed down privately - 1 month suspension.
No issue in terms of patient safety. GMC says behaviour was a concern in terms of trust. No GMC application on restricting his practice in 2 1/2 years since the last occasion.
GP - the criteria no risk of repetition. No basis to protect patients and wider public. Just about public interest. If there was an appeal, the period pf suspension would expire before the appeal. GMC was heavy handed.
Back into private session for half an hour.
Before the break, there was a discussion about the interface of timing between the suspension and if AH appealed. If he appeals, the time necessary to prepare for and run the appeal hearing could double the time of his suspension.
Chair: no immediate order.
So Dr Adrian Harrop is suspended for 28 days unless he decides to appeal. If he does appeal, he can practice until the outcome of that appeal is known.
And I can confirm that Adrian Harrop is not appealing.

The team will post the decision here when we receive the copy by email.

So this is @StoatlyL signing off for the @tribunaltweets volunteer reporting collective until we return for Stage two of the Webberley Tribunal.

Good morning from Manchester. The tribunal will today consider if Dr Harrop’s fitness to practice is impaired. We expect to start at 9.30am.
Reminder; Dr Harrop’s representative is Mr Giles Powell (GP) and the GMC representative is Mr Ryan Donoghue (RD).
Chair has asked if the Harrop’s team wish to call a witness. GP has said it is up to the GMC if they wish to question the witness. The witness seems to be a female doctor.

Today, the tribunal read its determination in private. They found an allegation (item 10 of Schedule 2) that Dr Adrian Harrop (AH) hadn't admitted re offensive &/or insulting &/or inappropriate tweets proved.

They found allegations re intention to intimidate & dox not proved.>>
I can't find Schedule 2 so have asked MPTS for a copy and will add it to this thread tomorrow if we receive it.

Here is updated Hearing Information Sheet which is easier to read than the paper photos posted earlier docs.google.com/document/d/17f… >>
The public were invited in after midday.

In a few minutes, the Chair read through the allegation numbers found proved & not proved too fast to live report. They are set out in the document above. >>
