Medical Practitioners Tribunal ServiceDoctor
Erasure(struck off the register)
The MPTS tribunal directed Dr William Smerdon's removal from the medical register after finding sexual misconduct involving two vulnerable patients. This included a sexual relationship with one patient and non-consensual kissing and touching of another. It imposed an immediate suspension, finding limited insight and a continuing risk of repetition. Allegations that he controlled or manipulated the first patient were not proved, and several other allegations were also rejected.
Medical Practitioners Tribunal ServiceDoctor
Suspension(suspended from practice)
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Vinesh Narayan's fitness to practise was no longer impaired by misconduct, recognising genuine insight, remorse and effective remediation. It considered the risk of repeating the earlier controlling or coercive behaviour to be low. The published outcome records a nine-month suspension and another review, while the remaining grounds and associated reasons are redacted from the public decision.
Health and Care Professions CouncilRadiographer
Suspension(suspended from practice)
The HCPTS panel imposed a nine-month suspension on radiographer Aneesh Daniel after finding he accessed a service user's contact details without authorisation and used them for sexually motivated personal contact. The case also involved failures to report employment restrictions to the regulator. The panel recognised some insight and remediation but found continuing impairment. A separate interim suspension covers the appeal process.

Other(other outcome)
The GDC tribunal decided that the conditions on dentist Farzad Ebrahim Zadeh Saadat's registration should be varied and continued. At a review hearing on 21 August 2026, the Interim Orders Committee kept the conditions in place for the remainder of a 14 month interim order first imposed on 17 September 2025. That order is due to expire on 16 November 2026, and the GDC said it will ask the High Court to extend it. The conditions are listed on his GDC register entry.
Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC found that registered nurse Lorna Fell gave a patient double the prescribed dose of Oramorph, did not record the error or tell the patient, asked a colleague not to report it and asked a doctor to change the prescription to match. The panel also found she made incorrect controlled drug records on two later shifts. It found her conduct dishonest on three counts, found her fitness to practise impaired, and imposed a striking-off order with an 18-month interim suspension order.
Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Other(other outcome)
The NMC found that Elizabeth Fitzpatrick's existing interim conditions of practice order should be varied while the allegations remained unresolved. The varied conditions restrict her to one employer and clinical placement, prevent her from being nurse in charge, require indirect supervision and require regular review of risk management, deteriorating patients, observations, record keeping and safeguarding.
Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Erasure(struck off the register)
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee struck Iain Scott Laing off the register after finding his fitness to practise impaired by a conviction for threatening or abusive behaviour with sexual aggravation.

Nursing and Midwifery CouncilNurse
Erasure(struck off the register)
Ajith Moothedath Sethumadhavan
The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee struck Ajith Moothedath Sethumadhavan off the register after finding his fitness to practise impaired by convictions for two sexual offences against a girl under 13. The panel found his conduct fundamentally incompatible with remaining registered, citing the seriousness of the convictions, a lack of insight and remorse, and a risk of repetition.

The NMC's Investigating Committee confirmed the existing 18-month interim conditions of practice order for Ini-Obong Umosoh.

It is not a finding that the allegations are proved.
