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
06 Feb 2025
to
06 Feb 2026
On 25 August 2023 Dr Wood was convicted of failing to stop after a road traffic accident and failing to report that accident.
On 4 July 2024 Dr Wood was convicted of failing to provide a specimen while in charge of a vehicle.
Dr Wood failed to report the above charges/convictions to the GMC without delay.
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, paragraphs 81 and 99 of Good medical practice are particularly relevant:
81. You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession
99. You must tell us without delay if, anywhere in the world:
b. you have been charged with a criminal offence in person or by post
c. you have been found guilty of a criminal offence.
Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on their 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.
