Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service determination — review hearing
Struck off the register
The regulator’s term: erasure
What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Keith Wolverson, doctor (General Medical Council 4328696).
Decision date: 10 April 2026 · Hearing started 9 April 2026 and ended 10 April 2026
In plain English
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Keith Wolverson's fitness to practise remained impaired by reason of misconduct relating to inappropriate conduct with a patient in 2018, dishonesty about his reasons, and later working as a locum doctor while suspended in November 2022. He did not attend the hearing and had disengaged from the regulator since May 2025. The tribunal directed that his name be erased from the medical register.
Charges
Review of misconduct findings made in 2022 (inappropriate comments about patients' English-language skills; asking a patient to remove her face veil; dishonesty in a subsequent email) and in 2024 (undertaking locum work between 19-23 November 2022 in breach of an order of suspension, and failing to inform the locum agency and Practice Plus Group of the suspension).
Findings
The Tribunal found Dr Wolverson's fitness to practise remained impaired by reason of misconduct. Since the 2025 Tribunal he had provided no evidence of insight or remediation and had completely disengaged from the regulatory process. He had not practised since 2022, raising deskilling concerns. The Tribunal concluded the case engaged all three limbs of the overarching objective and that the risk to public protection had increased.
