Decisions and hearings
Health and Care Professions Councilsubstantive hearing
Erasure(struck off the register)
The HCPTS panel ordered Michael Hollingworth to be struck off after finding that he accessed or possessed five indecent images of children. An allegation of uploading images was removed because there was no supporting evidence. The panel found misconduct, current impairment and a risk of repetition. It proceeded on the underlying conduct rather than a conviction ground because the criminal case ended in a conditional discharge. A separate interim suspension covers the appeal period and any appeal.
