Today the GMC have determined to erase Dr Webberley from the medical register. He applied to be erased in February of this year, but the GMC refused. He has been an amazing doctor throughout his career and has been love by his patients and colleagues alike. (1/7) Unfortunately, the field of transgender healthcare is fraught with politics and hate, and he has been caught up in that. (2/7)

I am posting this here because Dr Webberley is unable to comment. The GMC have carried out his fitness to practice hearing without him being able to be present, defend himself, instruct expert witnesses, or be represented by a barrister. (1/15) Dr Robert Stevens of The Men’s Health Clinic, complained to the GMC about patients Dr Webberley was treating who had Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome. (2/15)

Today we'll be hearing again from Dr Dean (Dr D) who has just joined the stream. IS: Re Pt A point 25, do want to comment?
Dr D: It was self-evident why Pt A's mother didn't want to communicate with the team at UCLH, it's a difficult position for a Dr to be in. Where there s potential for another practitioner to act in a way that might potentially cause harm,

Day 23 of the public aspect of the hearing is due to start at 10am. We're expecting Dr Klink (Dr K) to be cross examined by Dr W's counsel Ian Stern (IS), possibly Dr Dean (Dr D) will be appearing later in the day as well. We appear to have (again) been entered quite late into the proceedings, mid-discussion. Not sure what we have missed. IS is mid cross of Dr Klink.

Yesterday was to be day 21 of the public aspect of the hearing, today will be day 22. We think we're due to hear from Dr Dean (Dr D) or Mr Stuart Gale (SG, Dr W's former employer) but the schedule has changed so much we're not fully sure. We are still waiting to be hooked into the correct stream, after being given the wrong link.
