Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care v General Medical Council & Anor [2025] EWHC 318 (Admin) (14 February 2025)

Demanya v The General Medical Council [2025] EWHC 247 (Admin) (07 February 2025)
High Court appeal against GMC erasure dismissed. The court upheld findings that the doctor failed to diagnose sepsis, falsified records, and lied to the coroner.
The Tribunal's decision to take no action was wrong because it failed to adequately consider the seriousness of the misconduct, the aggravating factors, and the need to maintain public confidence and professional standards. The circumstances relied upon as exceptional were not unusual, special, or uncommon, and did not justify taking no action. The appropriate sanction is the imposition of conditions on Dr Rezk's registration for 12 months to address his shortcomings and protect the public.
Source excerpt
The Tribunal’s decision on sanction was vitiated by a serious procedural error: its reasoning was inadequate and unclear, failing to address central issues including the seriousness of the misconduct, aggravating factors, the registrant’s lack of insight and remediation, and the reasons for departing from the Sanctions Guidance. This prevented the appellate court from determining whether the sanction was sufficient for public protection. The decision was quashed and remitted for reconsideration.
