GMC – Allegations of sexual assault

We represented a surgeon before the GMC Interim Orders Tribunal (IOT) after three separate sexual offence allegations were reported to the police. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, our advocacy and careful submission of mitigating evidence secured a conditions of practice order – allowing ongoing practice.

What this means if you’re facing similar allegations

Even where allegations are extremely serious, immediate suspension is not inevitable. Presenting well-structured, workable conditions that manage the identified risk can persuade a tribunal to allow continued practice while matters are resolved. If you face an interim application, arguing for the least restrictive proportionate outcome is essential.
