No impairment found
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Philip Braakenburg, who was working as a locum psychiatry registrar, punched a patient once in the face after the patient attacked him, knocking off his glasses and injuring his eye. The tribunal decided he acted in self-defence in exceptional circumstances and that the force used was neither inappropriate nor excessive. It concluded his conduct did not amount to misconduct, that his fitness to practise was not impaired, and issued no warning.
