Struck off the register
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Ian Hudson's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of his conviction and misconduct. In July 2024 he was convicted of two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child after sexualised online exchanges in 2023 with undercover police officers posing as children. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment (suspended), placed on the sex offenders register for ten years and made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He had also delayed notifying the GMC. On 3 February 2026 the tribunal directed that his name be erased from the medical register, with an immediate order.
