Concerning Arthur Martial, physiotherapist (Health and Care Professions Council PH54082).
Decision date: 11 September 2026 · Hearing started 11 September 2026
In plain English
The HCPTS panel ordered physiotherapist Arthur Martial to be removed from the register from 24 October 2026 following a suspension review. The earlier case concerned professional boundaries and clinical recordkeeping. The panel acknowledged developing insight and regret but found insufficient evidence of remediation and continuing impairment. It concluded that conditions were unworkable and further suspension would serve no useful purpose.
Charges
The review concerned earlier misconduct findings involving professional boundaries with a vulnerable service user and inadequate or inaccurate clinical records. Some allegations had not been proved. Conditions of practice imposed in 2024 were extended in 2025 and replaced by suspension in April 2026.
Findings
The panel found continuing impairment on both the personal and public components. It acknowledged developing insight and regret but found insufficient understanding of the impact on the service user and no independent, verifiable remediation. Retirement did not address the concerns. Conditions were unworkable and further suspension would serve no useful purpose. It ordered removal from the register with effect from 24 October 2026.
