Struck off the register
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Ju Young Um's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of his conviction for 23 voyeurism offences in Glasgow in April 2025, for which he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with a 9-month extended licence period and placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years. The conviction concerned covert recordings of 28 victims in his home and in hospital staff accommodation between 2020 and 2023. The tribunal directed that his name be erased from the medical register and imposed an immediate order of suspension.
