Concerning Emmanuel I O Ehiwe, radiographer (Health and Care Professions Council RA45633).
Decision date: 12 January 2024 · Hearing started 11 January 2024 and ended 12 January 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel refused radiographer Emmanuel I O Ehiwe's application for restoration to the register. It found insufficient evidence that he had completed the required updating, had not yet shown meaningful insight or fully remedied the ultrasound misconduct that led to his striking off, and remained impaired on both the personal and public components.
Charges
The original case concerned numerous shortcomings in obstetric, dating and pelvic ultrasound scans across 15 patients over four working days, including suboptimal images, inaccurate measurements, missing required images or referrals, short acquisition times and inappropriate use of Spectral Doppler. The original panel found misconduct and ordered striking off.
Findings
The restoration panel was not satisfied that Emmanuel I O Ehiwe had proved the required 60 days of updating or that he was a fit and proper person to practise. It found his remediation insufficiently evidenced, his insight not yet meaningful and a risk of repeated misconduct, and found impairment on the personal and public components. It refused restoration.
