  • haven't had a chance to keep an eye on his tribunal, but from what I'm reading:

'Dr Michael Webberley applied for voluntary erasure from the GMC register. The Tribunal say it is "unfortunate" that was not determined prior to the hearing today.

MW had two requests for postponement declined & has now provided new medical evidence for an adjournment'

'I can't believe my surgeon's been reported to the police! I asked him to cut my leg off and he's always been really lovely to me. I think he's a great doctor and I'd recommend him to anyone else needing surgery for body dysmorphia.'

We're not far off this.

Just seen Webberley has been erased.

tabbycatstripy · 25/05/2022 16:23

Very good news. People will be a little bit safer without him handing out pills.

geojellyfish · 25/05/2022 16:25

I wonder if he intends to appeal?

tabbycatstripy · 25/05/2022 16:27

Saying SS was a ‘risk’ to Chambers didn’t mean he was some sort of nonce. It meant he was putting them at further risk in litigation terms, which he was. Not personal at all. This is bonkers.

'a sustained pattern of serious

misconduct. Dr Webberley had demonstrated a knowing desire to avoid the

necessary and proper regulation of all spheres of professional practice, whether

established or developing, which all doctors registered with the GMC are required to

submit to, and which Dr Webberley openly sought to avoid,'

tabbycatstripy · 25/05/2022 16:28

Wrong thread! 😂

MagnoliaTaint · 25/05/2022 16:28

'Dr Webberley’s behaviour was fundamentally incompatible with being a doctor. He further submitted that there had been a deliberate or reckless disregard for the principles set out in GMP and/or patient safety.'

MagnoliaTaint · 25/05/2022 16:34

'transgender patients were put at risk of serious harm by Dr Webberley’s actions'

'A number of the transgender patients were vulnerable by reason of their age and/or mental health.'

'Dr Webberley had dishonestly given false information'

'if Dr Webberley had not known that he was practising far beyond the limits of his competence, he should have done'

Wow. That is very, very clear. And very damning.

Erasure is permanent?

Datun · 25/05/2022 16:40

Is that what is meant by being struck off?

MagnoliaTaint · 25/05/2022 16:42

Do trans people not realise why some healthcare providers are relentless in their quest for 'affirmation' and medication for trans people?

Is it not obvious?

These people are not trying to help you, although they say they are. They are reckless, dangerous and dishonest.

People will promise impossible things if it is in their interests to do so.

I'm tired of people coming on here accusing women of hate, when all we're doing is trying our best to stop bad actors infiltrate every level of society. Wake up! Just because someone promises you the world does not mean they have your best interests at heart. In fact, it quite often can mean the opposite.

For him it will be. You can reapply to be readmitted to the register after 5 years but it is not straightforward to get back on once you have been erased.

He requested voluntary removal (instead of a tribunal) so I am assuming that due to health / age he was ready to retire.

Signalbox · 25/05/2022 16:44

Sorry that was an answer to Magnolia not Geojellyfish.

MagnoliaTaint · 25/05/2022 16:44

His wife said he's already retired.

Yes erasure = struck off.

I think he has opportunity to appeal firstly, but once the time for that has elapsed, he will be unable to practise medicine in the UK.

After five years, he could apply to be reinstated, but he would have to evidence that he meets various criteria. Maybe a third of such applications are successful.

Just came on to post this. Thank heavens. Sanity prevails and people are protected. Now, what about HW and GenderGP itself?

Signalbox · 25/05/2022 16:48

Now, what about HW

I think the next stage of her hearing is in June at some point.

MagnoliaTaint · 25/05/2022 16:52

GenderGP has ensured it will continue, I'm sure.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 25/05/2022 17:17

Fuck me that is damning indeed. Finally people are starting to see the actual harm he and his colleagues have inflicted on vulnerable young children.

Reading the determination, then re-reading her recent comment (a reminder below as I think they're buried in a longer article) shows so clearly how this ideology is so fucking blinkered and brainwashing. It's so harmful.

"My heart and soul goes out to my husband. While he was in hospital today having a big operation, he was sent the damning list of proven allegations that the GMC have found against him.
'He hasn’t been able to tell his side of the story and he wasn’t able to be represented or to ask experts who truly understand the needs of trans people.
'I know that he has helped so many trans people, and I know that you will wish him well in his retirement. He has served the NHS for a long and hard career.
'His patients have always loved him, as I do"

Could they face any criminal charges following this determination, does anyone know?

Motorina · 25/05/2022 18:11

To appeal he'd have to establish that the decision was wrong in law, or no reasonable panel could have made it. This is unlikely when you haven't turned up for your hearing!

In theory he can apply to be reinstated in five years, but he'd have to demonstrate that he'd fully addressed all the panel's concerns and was safe to practice. Again, unlikely.

Theeyeballsinthefuckingsky · 25/05/2022 18:17

Wow that is some judgement

the right side of history looks more shaky every day

I thought he offered voluntary removal because a) he hoped it would stop the trial and b) it would make it easier for him to continue to operate his gender clinics outside the UK .
