Harrop MPTS Thread 3

[BoreOfWhabylon]

For when the last one fills up

My dad was a GP and said that any dealings with the GMC was the worst nightmare of all doctors. Having his conduct described as "deplorable" is very severe language and I don't think AH will ever live it down. It's not the length of the suspension, it's the fact of being suspended at all. He's going to have to be very, very careful.

I was wrong, if he does appeal he can continue to practice until the appeal is heard.

I suspect (@MissLucyEyelesbarrow tell me if I'm wrong) he will have to be on a local performers list to work as a GP. His place on that list will lapse on suspension. He will have to reapply to go back on. This may take some time!

That rings a definite bell. This could take several months

Well his dream of being a media star has gone with the wind hasn't it. Even the BBC might hesitate at using a doctor with impaired FTP.

Does anyone know if Russia Today is hiring?

I'd see it as a very serious sanction, were I to be suspended for a month.

@CaveMum

Ben Hunte is tweeting the 1 month suspension as a win . Plenty of responses congratulating him on his contribution to securing the verdict.

Ben is, in my opinion, not very bright and a million miles away from being journalists. I'm astonished he was ever employed by the BBC

@mateysmum

I wonder if the panel have decided that although they condemned his behaviour, he has not been found unsafe in terms of his clinical practice - he is not a danger to his patients. Therefore the balance of a short but sharp punishment may have seemed the most appropriate conclusion.

I think that's it in a nutshell

Ohh that is sneaky. Is there any jeopardy if he appeals, could he get a stronger sanction?

Best of luck to him with that in light of Putin's views on the subject.

He's obviously very academically gifted, and is very personable, but not wise and doesn't seem to engage critically. But that could probably be said of many young journos. He's really scuppered his pal here though

Tick tock for all the rest.

If, as is apparently being spun in AH's circles, this is a 'minor' sanction and a 'win', why appeal it? Usual contradictory inconsistency.

I do hope harrop has learned a challenging
yet important and unforgettable lesson from this.

There’s a tweet (or was it a DM in this case?) for everything

I think this is a good outcome. Harrop was exposed as the stupid prat that he is but the sanction is not so draconian that it makes him a TRA martyr.

This made me snort. God are we all on the farms?

God are we all on the farms?

I'm not.

Reading about the personal cost for him of trying to impress his friends, who egged him on, makes me think of the kind of gullible kid that takes the joke too far or is willing to take any dare, the one that actually eats the worm, steals the car, takes the drug, dies of misadventure. Like, “doing a Dahmer,”, if you’ve seen the movie, My Friend Dahmer.

I know not of what you speak, but I have heard of a mythical land where the kiwi fruits grow! 🥝

As one esteemed poster put it, “Congratulations to my friend. The GMC have called your conduct deplorable and unseemly and found your fitness to practice, impaired”.

Anyone for a lolsuit?!

And yet the cronies are trumpeting it as a huge win…. Distinct lack of understanding or deliberate spin? Either way, it’s quite pathetic, really.

Ben Hunte Tweeting that 1 month is a win, oh dear. Mind you he would say that wouldn’t he?
He has to deflect away from his Vice interview which was sited as evidence that Harrop had not learning any lessons!

Tribunaltweets have tweeted

No immediate order.
No conditions.

"So Dr Adrian Harrop is suspended for 28 days unless he decides to appeal. If he does appeal, he can practice until the outcome of that appeal is known."

Followed by

"And I can confirm that Adrian Harrop is not appealing.

The team will post the decision here when we receive the copy by email.

So this is

signing off for the

volunteer reporting collective until we return for Stage two of the Webberley Tribunal."

@RhymesWithOrange

Agreed, and I was worried he wouldn't get a suspension at all.

@EmbarrassingHadrosaurus

I'm not.

And none of us would recommend it, obviously.

I can confirm that Adrian Harrop is not appealing
