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
24 Mar 2025
to
24 Mar 2026
On 15 July 2024 Dr Peter Fitzmaurice was convicted of driving a motor vehicle without a policy of insurance.
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, paragraphs 81 of Good medical practice is particularly relevant:
‘You must make sure that your conduct justifies your patients' trust in you and the public's trust in the profession.’
Whilst this failing is not in itself so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Fitzmaurice’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.
