In plain English
The GDC tribunal decided that Lyndsey Michelle Trembath's fitness to practise was impaired following assault matters and failures to notify the regulator. It ordered her removal from the register and immediate suspension during the appeal period. The committee found the notification failures misleading, but rejected the dishonesty allegations. Removal takes effect 28 days after the decision is formally served unless she appeals; immediate suspension continues during any appeal.
Charges
The charges concerned a 2021 police caution for assaults, 2024 Court Martial convictions for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault by beating, and failures to notify the GDC promptly. The GDC alleged that the notification failures were misleading and dishonest.
Findings
The committee found the caution, convictions and notification failures proved, and found the failures misleading but not dishonest. It found misconduct and impairment by reason of caution, conviction and misconduct. It ordered erasure, taking effect 28 days after deemed service unless appealed, and immediate suspension covering the appeal period and any appeal. The existing interim suspension was revoked and replaced by the immediate order.
