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
04 Dec 2024
to
04 Dec 2025
On 5 December 2023 Dr Geoffrey was convicted (having entered guilty pleas) of obstructing a constable and failing to provide a specimen of breath for a preliminary test when required to do so. Dr Geoffrey self-referred to the GMC on or around 15th December 2023.
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 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 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/disclosure policy.
