Concerning Bronterre B Freelove, chiropodist / podiatrist (Health and Care Professions Council CH32877).
Decision date: 19 February 2024 · Hearing started 19 February 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel approved podiatrist Bronterre B Freelove's voluntary removal from the register. The allegations included insecurely storing about 341 patient records at home and inadequate case records, alongside a redacted health matter. The panel held the hearing in private and found the signed removal agreement an appropriate and proportionate way to conclude the case.
Charges
Mr Freelove was alleged to have stored about 341 patient records insecurely at home and failed to complete adequate case records while employed by Powys Teaching Health Board. A separate health allegation was redacted.
Findings
The panel approved a signed voluntary removal agreement, finding disposal by consent appropriate, expeditious and proportionate. The hearing was held entirely in private because the health matters were inextricably linked to the allegations and agreement.
