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
27 Jun 2025
to
27 Jun 2026
On 26 March 2025 Dr Kerslake was convicted of driving a motor vehicle with alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit contrary to section 5(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
This behaviour 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 [81] of Good medical practice is particularly relevant:
81. You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession.
Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Kerslake's 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.
