Warnings
on the registrant's registration
Warnings are issued to indicate when a registrant's behaviour or performance is significantly below the standards expected, but when restricting a registrant's practice is not necessary. See more on warnings.
From
06 May 2026
to
06 May 2027
On 29 April 2025, Dr Elias-Jones was convicted of driving without due care and attention, failing to stop after a road accident, and failing to report that accident. Dr Elias-Jones also failed to inform the GMC that he had been charged and convicted.
This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks undermining public protection, specifically public confidence in the profession, and professional standards and conduct, and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good medical practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraph 81 and 99 of Good medical practice are particularly relevant:
81. You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession.
99. You must tell us without delay if, anywhere in the world:
a. you have accepted a caution (or equivalent) from a prosecuting authority
b. you have been charged with a criminal offence in person or by post
c. you have been found guilty of a criminal offence.
Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Elias-Jones’ registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning.
This warning will be published on the medical register in line with our publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy.
