Concerning Keith S Cameron, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA15264).
Decision date: 27 June 2025 · Hearing started 26 June 2025 and ended 27 June 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that paramedic Keith Cameron's convictions for possessing indecent images of children and distributing an intimate photograph without consent impaired his fitness to practise. It found a significant risk of repetition, an ongoing risk to the public, and no evidence of remorse, insight or remediation. The panel struck him off and imposed an interim suspension.
Charges
Mr Cameron was convicted of possessing indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children and of repeatedly distributing online an intimate photograph of another person without consent, intending or being reckless as to causing fear, alarm or distress. His fitness to practise was alleged to be impaired by reason of the convictions.
Findings
The panel found both convictions proved from the conviction record. It found current impairment on the personal component because there was no evidence of remorse, insight or remediation and a significant risk of repetition. It also found impairment on the public component because of the ongoing risk to the public, particularly children and young people, and the need to maintain confidence and standards.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Mitigating factors
