Where a doctor is referred to an interim orders tribunal by the
General Medical Council, it is essential that they provide the
panel with all relevant information to support their position. This
includes admitting their mistakes where appropriate. Where this
supportive information is not provided – but subsequently
comes to light – can a court overturn the tribunal's
findings? The case of Dr Temi Uwen v GMC [2018] EWHC 2484
(Admin) is a reminder that the court cannot interfere.
Mr Justice King considered an appeal brought by Dr Uwen
following an interim suspension of her registration in April 2018.
She faced allegations of working on two occasions in private
practice without indemnity and being dishonest in communication
with the private provider regarding her indemnity cover.
