This is a deeply concerning case. Patients place enormous trust in healthcare professionals, particularly during vulnerable consultations, and that trust must never be abused.

It is understandably difficult for many people to see that criminal proceedings did not result in a conviction. However, the GMC and Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service have a responsibility to assess a doctor’s fitness to practise using a different legal threshold, and we are grateful that they have acted decisively where serious concerns were found proven.

A GP working in Bootle has been struck off over 'sexually motivated' examinations on female patients.

The medical practitioner had been working as a resident GP at Park Street Surgery in Bootle since April 2022.

But a tribunal has now ordered his immediate erasure from the medical register following allegations dating back to 2015.

The investigation centred on his time working in Scotland under his previous name, Matthew Adam.

The panel found that he touched two female patients intimately during consultations without any clinical justification. One patient attended an appointment for abdominal pain before the doctor moved his hand beneath the waistband of her trousers and underwear.

Her partner told the tribunal that she returned to their car in tears following the distressed interaction.

Dr Jones also admitted to taking explicit photographs of himself exposing his ge****ls inside St Margaret's Hospital in Auchterarder.

The doctor was previously acquitted of criminal sexual assault charges at the High Court in Glasgow in 2021. But the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service operates on the civil standard of proof and found the allegations proven on the balance of probabilities.

Tribunal chair Nessa Sharkett confirmed the panel found no plausible explanation for his conduct towards the women.

The immediate order of suspension and erasure from the medical register was officially imposed on June 9.
