No impairment found
The MPTS tribunal found that none of the allegations against Dr Neill Garrard were proved. The allegations concerned alleged inappropriate physical contact with one patient and inappropriate conduct during a consultation with a second patient. This was a remittal hearing ordered by the High Court. The tribunal concluded all charges were not proved, the fitness to practise impairment stage was not reached, and the case was concluded with any interim order revoked.

Other outcome
The MPTS tribunal held a preliminary hearing to resolve procedural matters ahead of a substantive rehearing of the case against Dr Garrard scheduled for January 2026. Dr Garrard originally faced allegations of sexually motivated misconduct towards two patients, and a 2023 tribunal found the allegations not proved. An appeal upheld by the High Court directed the case to be reheard. At this hearing, the tribunal decided that evidence transcripts from the original 2023 hearing could be used instead of requiring the two patient witnesses to give live evidence again. The tribunal also granted anonymity to both patient witnesses. No decision was made on the substantive allegations at this stage.
