Notable Cases:

GMC v Dr D (2020)

Fiona represented the registrant in fitness to practise proceedings before the MPTS after he accepted a police caution for accessing extreme pornography on a work computer.

GMC v Dr J (2019)

Fiona represented the registrant who faced multiple charges relating to a sexual relationship with a vulnerable patient and the treatment to the patient in their home without proper records being maintained. The case was conducted over 8 days and required extensive video-link cross examination of the vulnerable patient as to the truth of the allegations and her part in encouraging the relationship.

GMC v Dr A (2019)

Fiona was instructed as special counsel to cross examine several witnesses who had made allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour by the registrant in the work place.

NMC v J

The registrant faced multiple charges in relation to a patient who developed an open wound while under her care and her subsequent failure to engage in the investigative process. Two of the charges were dismissed following a submission of no case no answer. The remaining charges were found not proved at the conclusion of the case.
