Tribunal Tweets also reports on medical practitioner tribunals.
A tribunal has found Dr Michael Webberley failed to provide good care with regard to patient consent forms, informed consent, prescribing & working within the limits of his expertise & the guidance.
@tribunaltweets2 Over 90 pages of Finding of Fact concern the evidence & the finding of fact relating to 5 patients treated by Gender GP. 17 year old Patient S was affected by the long GIDS waiting lists.
The Tribunal states that inadequacy of NHS provision for patients who may be experiencing gender dysphoria is not a justification for shortcuts in assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
S was prescribed hormones despite not meeting either Dr Helen nor Dr Michael Webberley face to face or on a video call. The Tribunal found Dr MW did not adequately assess S’s capacity to consent. #MichaelWebberleyTribunal #OpenJustice@tribunaltweets2
