What does “voluntary removal from the register” mean?
The practitioner asked to be removed from the register and the regulator accepted the request. This may happen during or after a fitness-to-practise case.
Concerning Andrea Montgomery, practitioner psychologist (Health and Care Professions Council PYL24635).
Decision date: 24 August 2023 · Hearing started 24 August 2023
In plain English
The HCPTS panel approved practitioner psychologist Andrea Montgomery's removal from the register by voluntary agreement. The case involved an allegation that she obstructed police and a linked, redacted health matter. Because those issues were inseparable and disclosure risked further harm, the panel held the entire hearing in private.
Charges
Ms Montgomery was alleged to have refused police entry to her residence or obstructed officers carrying out their duties. A linked health allegation was redacted.
Findings
The panel directed that Ms Montgomery be removed from the register under a voluntary removal agreement. The entire hearing was private because the health and misconduct matters were inseparably linked and disclosure risked further harm.
