The Court upheld the Medical Council's findings that the appellant was guilty of professional misconduct based on the tribunal's credibility findings, the evidence of alterations to the original medical record, and the unreliability of the appellant's alternative explanations; the disciplinary standard of proof was correctly applied and the six-month removal from the General Register with costs was an appropriate sanction to protect the public and the profession's reputation.
