What does “formally warned” mean?
A formal warning is a note on the practitioner's record. It does not restrict practice but tells the public that the regulator considered the conduct to have fallen below expected standards.
Concerning Christopher Eyton-Jones, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA47769).
Decision date: 25 November 2025 · Hearing started 25 November 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel decided that paramedic Christopher Eyton-Jones should receive a two-year caution after he admitted 18 practice failures involving observations, referrals and patient records. It found a low risk of repetition because of his insight, remediation and subsequent practice, but found current impairment on public-interest grounds because the past failures were serious, repeated and could have harmed service users.
Charges
The allegations concerned repeated failures between April 2020 and March 2021 to perform or record complete and accurate observations, make appropriate referrals, and maintain accurate patient records. An allegation that one inaccurate record was dishonest was discontinued, together with the dependent misconduct allegation.
Findings
Mr Eyton-Jones admitted 18 of 24 remaining particulars and accepted impairment. The panel approved consensual disposal without deciding the unadmitted particulars. It found a low risk of repetition because of his insight, remediation, subsequent unrestricted practice and training, but found impairment on public-interest grounds due to the serious, repeated past failures and potential harm to service users.
