In plain English
The MPTS tribunal considered a misconduct case for Michael Paul Murray. It recorded the decision on impairment as impaired and imposed a 1-month suspension. The source PDF contains the tribunal's published reasons, with any private material redacted where required.
Charges
The MPTS PDF background states: 1. Dr Murray qualified in 2015 at Imperial College London. At the time of the events, Dr Murray was practising as a ST5 Registrar in Radiology at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (‘the Hospital’), as part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’). Dr Murray now works in a substantive consultant post at a different hospital within the Trust. 2. Within the Trust, imaging studies that needed to be reported urgently were placed onto an electronic insourcing reporting list. These scans were either about to breach or had breached the timescale in which they needed to be reported by. To manage the backlog, studies from this list could be reported outside of contracted work hours for additional pay. This was known as the Waiting List Initiative (‘WLI’) and WLI work could only be completed outside of contracted NHS hours. 3.
