Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service determination — substantive hearing
Erasure (struck off the register)
Added to MedicWatch: 3 May 2026Report a correction
What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Wayne Davis, doctor (General Medical Council 2643609).
Decision date: 26 November 2025 · Hearing started 24 November 2025 and ended 26 November 2025
In plain English
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Davis was convicted on 14 December 2023 at Manchester Crown Court of indecent assault and assault by penetration against two female patients during consultations in 1995 and 2006. He was sentenced to 8 years' imprisonment. The tribunal found no insight or remediation, assessed the risk to public protection as high, and determined erasure was the only appropriate sanction. An immediate order was imposed.
Charges
The GMC alleged that on 14 December 2023 at Manchester Crown Court, Dr Davis was convicted of: (1) indecent assault on Patient A on 20 February 1995 by penetrating her vagina with his finger; and (2) assault by penetration of Patient B on 24 November 2006, penetrating her vagina with his finger without consent. On 13 January 2025 he was sentenced to 5 years and 8 years imprisonment respectively, to run concurrently. As a result he became subject to indefinite notification requirements under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Both offences were committed while Dr Davis was working as a GP in North Manchester. Dr Davis was not present and not represented at the hearing.
Findings
The Tribunal found all allegations proved by Certificate of Conviction. It found Dr Davis' fitness to practise was impaired at the highest level of seriousness, with all three limbs of public protection engaged. It found no insight, no remediation, and a high risk of repetition. The Tribunal determined that Dr Davis' conviction for repeated sexual assaults of vulnerable patients in a clinical setting was fundamentally incompatible with continued registration and that erasure was the only proportionate sanction. An immediate order was imposed.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Aggravating factors
Dr Davis showed no insight and provided no evidence of good character, insight or remediation. He entered a not guilty plea. He was in a particular position of trust as a GP within the community he served. Both victims were vulnerable patients. The conduct occurred in a clinical setting over two separate incidents spanning many years.
