Harrop MPTS Hearing

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I thought this may be of interest:

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.

That’s interesting. I think it was only yesterday there were a few remarks about how quiet he’s been lately.

Hearings are normally open to the public if anyone wishes to go observe and report back.

The site says:

St James’s Buildings, 79 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 6FQ. It is possible to observe proceedings from our Manchester hearing centre. Please give us 14 days' notice if you would like to attend, so arrangements can be made.

Well isn't that interesting. One of his last tweets before he abandoned twitter seriously crossed a line. I believe that particular tweet was reported to the police.

Looks like that's outside the dates mentioned in the hearing though.

Bread Yes I think so.

Ah so this is why he’s so quiet. Are we allowed to talk about it? The monitors got another thread deleted where we were discussing “where are they now?” on various luminaries of the genderist movement.

Does anyone know what the possible penalties could be, if a medical practitioner were to be found guilty of “using a Twitter account inappropriately to post tweets that are offensive and/or insulting and/or inappropriate in nature and some of which are intended to intimidate.”

That won't be fun for Harrop.

Likely the case against is going to be based on screenshots. Lots of screenshots.

So he will, if the format follows the norm for such hearings, will involve him answering questions about each one presented to the hearing committee.

Yes, thanks OP, that is of interest.

That's a date for the diary, I can't wait to hear his explanations and justifications perhaps he will tell the tribunal that he was just upset because women were appropriating the word woman.

Posie should go, in person

[quote JurassickJay]From the BMA Code of Conduct, Section 2.3:

Personal conduct: Members are expected to maintain a high standard of personal conduct and to treat staff and other members with respect. In particular, members are required to promote and role model the behaviour principles outlined in this code of conduct. Doctors should display the same duty of care towards one another as they would towards patients and in the workplace. Bullying and harassment, including sexual harassment, will not be tolerated and cases will be taken extremely seriously. Bullying includes behaviour that is intimidating, malicious, offensive or insulting. It may be an abuse or misuse of power and it may be unwarranted and unwelcome. Harassment is against the law. In the Equality Act 2010, it is defined as conduct that is related to one of the protected characteristics (age, race, religion or belief, gender reassignment, disability, sex, or sexual orientation). It is unwanted by the recipient and it has the purpose or the effect of violating their dignity or creating a hostile, intimidating, offensive, degrading or humiliating environment for them.

Harrop certainly has some explaining to do, especially with respect to bullying and the protected characteristic of sex. Should be interesting. I wonder if the court will watch Harrop's television interacttion with Posie Parker.

I do hope someone local can attend and report back here. I found his tweets seriously disturbing from pretty much when he started on twitter and well before I found my way here.

Ooooh! There were musings on where he’d buggered off to yesterday! Well well well…

@PronounssheRa omg! She probably would as well!

Wow I hadn't seen that one. That is dreadful.

Good. Watching with interest.

Aaaaahahahaha that's made my day. I'd genuinely begun to think that white male doctors were able to post whatever threats they like with impunity.
Last time i checked i think even the fruit farmers had lost interest.

That is awful. Accusing Louise Moody of a "sustained and targeted campaign of abuse and harassment" and calling for her alleged campaign to be "brought to an end, by whatever means necessary" is pretty threatening. I wonder how Harrop is going to explain that.

@Cwenthryth possible sanctions would be:

1. The case concludes with no action.
2. The committee issues a reprimand.
3. The doctor has conditions attached to their registration*.
4. The doctor's registration is suspended for a period of up to 12 months.
5. The doctor is erased from the register.

(* Conditions might be "Does further training in blah. Doesn't work unsupervised. Doesn't do a particular procedure or group of procedures. It's usually aimed at addressing clinical incompetence and not at behavioural issues such as is alledged.)

I remember also the tweets suggesting that AH and a well-known friend might go play golf in a particular town (in which neither of them lived, but where they knew a particular gender critical woman lived). Given the friend's known prior conviction, involving a golf club, it was very clearly intended to intimidate that woman. It was horrible to witness.

I'd genuinely begun to think that white male doctors were able to post whatever threats they like with impunity.

The gruesome twosome of Jessen and Harrop hoist by their own petards, there is a God.
