No impairment found
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Richard Latcham's fitness to practise is not impaired, and issued no warning. Dr Latcham, a psychiatrist, had been accused of asking inappropriate and sexually-themed questions while assessing a man for a medical negligence claim. The tribunal found the man's evidence was unreliable and escalated over time. The only question proved was a relevant one about his ex-partner, which the tribunal found appropriate within the context of a psychiatric assessment.
