In plain English
The HCPTS panel approved prosthetist and orthotist Hannah Hochland's voluntary removal from the register.

The panel found that removal adequately protected the public and maintained confidence in the profession.
Charges
The allegation concerned whether Ms Hochland's fitness to practise as a prosthetist and orthotist was impaired by reason of physical or mental health. The private health details were not published.
Findings
The panel approved voluntary removal, finding that the proposal adequately protected the public and would not undermine public confidence. The hearing was entirely private because the case concerned health matters.
