What does “suspended indefinitely” mean?
An indefinite suspension is a pause on the right to practise with no fixed end date. The practitioner cannot work in the regulated profession until the regulator reviews the case and decides the suspension can be lifted. Indefinite suspensions are imposed in the most serious cases, often where a fixed period would not adequately protect the public.

Suspended indefinitely
The GDC tribunal decided to suspend Mr McMurray from the dentist register indefinitely. This was the third review of a suspension first imposed in October 2023 for clinical failings during his vocational training, including issues with caries removal, infection control and radiograph technique. The Committee found Mr McMurray had not engaged with the process or provided evidence of remediation, and indefinite suspension was appropriate. He may apply for a review if he later wishes to engage.
