Concerning Charles K Jimingo, occupational therapist (Health and Care Professions Council OT82137).
Decision date: 10 July 2026 · Hearing started 10 July 2026
In plain English
Occupational therapist Charles K Jimingo had his suspension extended by six months, from 28 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. Reviewing earlier findings about professional boundaries and dishonesty, the panel recognised developing reflection but found insufficient evidence that learning had been applied in practice. It found continuing impairment and required another review before the order expires.
Charges
The reviewed case concerned earlier findings of sexually motivated breaches of professional boundaries with colleagues and a dishonest account of an incident.
Findings
The reviewing panel found continuing impairment on personal and public components. It accepted a more developed reflective statement but found insufficient evidence of applied learning, further training, maintained clinical skills or testimonials. Developing insight had not adequately addressed the risk of repetition. It extended suspension for six months from 28 August 2026, with review before expiry on 28 February 2027. Two further concerns remained under investigation and were not findings made at this review.
