- Colleagues raised concerns after she demonstrated ignorance about fundamental concepts, such as the function of the gallbladder or what coeliac disease is.
- A misconduct tribunal deemed her conduct “deplorable” and her dishonesty “premeditated and sustained”, painting a “misleading” picture of her abilities.
- The Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service panel concluded that a striking off order was necessary to protect the public and maintain confidence in the profession.
