Suspended from practice· 1 year
The GDC tribunal decided that Mr De Bono, a dentist, was convicted in 2023 of speeding at 162mph, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance. He failed to inform the GDC of these convictions, which the tribunal found to be dishonest and intended to conceal his offending from his regulator. His fitness to practise was found impaired by misconduct and convictions. The tribunal imposed a 12-month suspension with a review.
