Findings
The Dental Professionals Hearings Service records that the Interim Orders Committee continued the interim conditions for Olusesan Olaniyi Popoola. The public outcome summary states: At a review hearing on 26 February 2026, the Interim Orders Committee varied and continued the conditions on Mr Popoola's registration for the remainder of the High Court extension order. The order was originally imposed from 5 October 2023 for 15 months. On 4 July 2024, the High Court extended the order for 12 months. On 23 June 2025, the High Court extended the order again for 12 months. This interim order is due to expire on 13 July 2026 and the GDC will be applying to the High Court for a further extension of it. In the event that such an application is granted, the order will be reviewed in accordance with the GDC's statutory requirements.
