Concerning Mark Mac Kenzie, chiropodist / podiatrist (Health and Care Professions Council CH037041).
Decision date: 10 August 2026 · Hearing started 10 August 2026
In plain English
The HCPTS Investigating Committee directed the removal of chiropodist/podiatrist Mark Mac Kenzie from the register after finding his registration was fraudulently procured. The panel found he dishonestly failed to disclose recent Australian regulatory action concerning his former medical practice when applying to the HCPC. It also imposed interim suspension to protect the public during the appeal process.
Charges
The Investigating Committee considered whether entry to the HCPC register had been fraudulently procured or incorrectly made. The case concerned a July 2024 application that did not disclose recent Australian regulatory action against the registrant in his former role as a medical practitioner.
Findings
The panel found that the registrant deliberately concealed the Australian regulatory findings and dishonestly misled the HCPC to secure registration as a chiropodist/podiatrist. It directed removal from the register because the application had not been properly scrutinised. This was a fraudulent-entry decision, rather than a finding about clinical treatment. A separate interim suspension of up to 18 months covers the appeal process.
