I thought this may be of interest: [[https://www.mpts-uk.org/hearings-and-decisions/medical-practitioners-tribunals/dr-adrian-harrop-nov-21]] ^The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that from 10 May 2018 to 23 November 2019, Dr Harrop inappropriately used his Twitter account to post tweets that were offensive and/or insulting and/or inappropriate in nature and some of which were intended to intimidate.^

And the GMC consider if a doctor is "bringing the profession into disrepute"

Dr H truly made me reconsider going to a male doctor in case they were a misogynist like him. He has caused me to lose some faith in the medical profession.

Sexnotgender · 15/11/2021 13:07

That charge sheet is awful. And basically for having different views to him.

StellaAndCrow · 15/11/2021 13:05

He's going to have to be very careful not to let them see him angry.

I honestly don't know anyone that can listen to him and not see him as an angry misogynist.

The “anti TERF” spray was a post on Instagram earlier this year.

So even after Harrop had been informed by the GMC that he was facing a tribunal, he continued to post inappropriate material on other platforms signifying a colossal lack of judgement.

It doesn’t look as though that will be included, though the panel ought to take it into consideration.

Harrop seems pathologically incapable of self-control or restraint.

RedDogsBeg · 15/11/2021 13:02

He should be facing criminal charges.

And that's not even all his dodgy tweets. Would love to know whether the one about the "anti-terf" spray (I forget the exact wording) will be covered, for example?

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 15/11/2021 12:50

Wow, I hadn't read the charge sheet until today. Astonishing seeing it all laid out like that, I would have thought it would be impossible to defend...

ItsLittoralViolins · 15/11/2021 12:41

I use Twitter professionally, as do a lot of people in my field. I came across Dr A H by accident some time ago, around the time of Clownfishgate, and didn't actually believe he could be a medical doctor until I read about him further on here. I think a lot of women felt the same - He's a GP??!

The list of charges is astonishing. I'm not pre-judging, but given the clear and obvious evidence base for the charges, I will be suprised if there are no serious sanctions in this case. This man has brought his profession into disrepute. I'd be thrown out of my professional bodies for far less.

@Rightsraptor

I don't think at this stage (which is pretty serious) Harrop is going to be allowed to say 'sorry, guv, honest mistake. Bit of banter. Will mend my ways'.

This tribunal isn't the first port of call in a misconduct matter. There are stages to be followed (or they should be followed), as there are in most large organisations, before a case gets anywhere near a tribunal. I can only assume Harrop has been given ample opportunity in the past to change his ways. He clearly hasn't.

The NHS doesn't like to lose doctors. The GMC won't be taking this step lightly.

This.

Also though, whilst I agree that the NHS needs all the doctors it can get, am I being too rosy tinted in thinking that neither of those institutions would want to be seen to be supporting an individual so self evidently narcissistic, deluded and lacking in any emotional continence to continue as their representative in what is, after all, the most responsible of pastoral roles?

@Terfasaurus

30th June, which is when the GMC are looking to extend the dates to, is when Dr Harrop repeatedly changed his profile banner and location to make it look as though he was literally in the same area as one of the witnesses.

I remember this. Hope it is included.

Absolutely taunting behaviour.

Signalbox · 15/11/2021 12:13

It is totally understandable. If I was a witness I would want privacy.

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/11/2021 12:10

Hearing to continue in public apparently

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/11/2021 12:06

@RedDogsBeg

A number of the witness statements are reportedly heavily redacted. If the hearing has to go private for witnesses to be heard then so be it.

I can understand why they are heavily redacted and that the witnesses want to be heard in private after what they have already been subjected to.

Yes, I agree.

BoreOfWhabylon · 15/11/2021 12:05

I hope they do extend the dates of the tweets they are looking at.

Reasons must be that witnesses want privacy.

I did wonder about that, as the witnesses identities are well known to those who have been watching this play out on social media. Especially C.

Bugger, I seem to have messed that up a bit
