Erasure(struck off the register)
The HCPTS panel ordered radiographer William Smethurst to be struck off from 19 October 2026 after reviewing his suspension. Earlier findings concerned sexually motivated photographs taken at work and dishonesty during an investigation. The panel found continuing impairment, with no evidence of insight or remediation and repeated failure to engage. It concluded that a lesser sanction would not adequately protect the public or maintain confidence.
