Zsolt IMRECZE

On 3 July 2024 and 19 July 2024 Dr Imrecze sent emails to the Communications Team at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust from his NHS email address which stated opinions about the LGBTQIA+ community which were grossly offensive and had the effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for those who read the emails. 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 56 of Good Medical Practice is particularly relevant: ‘You must not abuse, discriminate against, bully, or harass anyone based on their personal characteristics, or for any other reason. By ‘personal characteristics’ we mean someone’s appearance, lifestyle, culture, their social or economic status, or any of the characteristics protected by legislation – age, disability, gender reassignment, race, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.’ 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 medical register in line with our publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy.
