Erasure(struck off the register)
The HCPTS panel found that operating department practitioner Joseph William Yeardley remained impaired after earlier findings of sexual conduct towards colleagues. It found no evidence of improved insight or remediation and could not rule out repetition. Given his disengagement and stated intention not to return to practice, the panel struck him off when his suspension expired.
