    Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year

    The HCPTS panel suspended occupational therapist Emma King for 12 months after finding that she pursued a sexually motivated relationship with a particularly vulnerable former service user. Her early insight and lack of practical remediation left a repetition risk, but her remorse, engagement and potential to improve made suspension proportionate instead of striking off.
