Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year
The panel suspended paramedic Benjamin Shepherd for 12 months after finding serious misconduct involving explicit photographs and inappropriate comments. Some conduct was sexual in nature, but sexual motivation was not proved. Several allegations were discontinued, and a proved offensive gesture was not serious misconduct. The panel recognised developing insight and some remediation, and considered striking off disproportionate. A separate interim suspension covers the appeal period before the substantive order takes effect.
