Concerning Grzegorz P Skierka, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA35070).
Decision date: 18 November 2025 · Hearing started 18 November 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel decided to strike paramedic Grzegorz P Skierka off when his current suspension expired. An earlier panel found misconduct and impairment after he attempted to obtain psilocin or psilocybin online in July 2021. The detailed reasons for the review panel's findings on impairment and sanction were redacted from the public decision.
Charges
In July 2021, Mr Skierka attempted to obtain psilocin and/or psilocybin, described in the determination as a Class A controlled drug, by ordering it online for delivery. The allegation stated that this amounted to misconduct and impaired his fitness to practise.
Findings
The substantive panel found the allegation proved, found misconduct and impairment, and imposed a 12-month suspension. Later reviews imposed two further six-month suspensions. At this review, the public decision on impairment and sanction was redacted, but the panel's published order directed that Mr Skierka be struck off when the current order expired on 20 December 2025.
