On 29 occasions between 20 July 2019 and 21 October 2019, you consulted with patients and prescribed the medication for the medical termination of a pregnancy. Form HSA1 needed to be completed by two registered medical practitioners before the commencement of the treatment for the termination of a pregnancy. Form HSA4 needed to be completed and sent to the Chief Medical Officer within 14 days of the termination. On each occasion a. you failed to: i. complete Form HSA1 ii. arrange for a second registered medical practitioner to complete Form HSA1 iii. complete Form HSA4. iv. send Form HSA4 to the Chief Medical Officer. This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good Medical Practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraph 12 of Good Medical Practice is particularly relevant: “12 You must keep up to date with, and follow, the law, our guidance and other regulations relevant to your work.” Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on your registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning. This warning will be published on the List of Registered Medical Practitioners (LRMP) in line with the GMC publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy
