Decisions and hearings

  1. Medical Practitioners Tribunal Servicereview hearing

    No impairment found

    The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Hughes's fitness to practise is not impaired by reason of misconduct. At this first review hearing, it examined a 12-month suspension imposed in 2025 for a sexually motivated relationship he pursued with a patient, whom he had met as a vulnerable young paediatric patient. The tribunal was satisfied he had shown significant insight, remediated as far as he could and posed a low risk of repetition, and that the original suspension had upheld public confidence. It directed that the suspension be left to expire.
