Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Desmond Kidd's fitness to practise is impaired by reason of misconduct. It found that, while a Consultant Neurologist at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, he was dishonest in research articles about a university affiliation, dishonest about a patient's diagnosis and funding for her treatment, and dishonest about contacting former patients after he left. The tribunal suspended his registration for 12 months with an immediate order, and directed a review hearing.
