Struck off the register
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Thomas O'Neill's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of his conviction and ordered that his name be erased from the medical register. At Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 17 February 2025 he was convicted of communicating indecently with a 15-year-old child between November 2019 and May 2020 by sending sexually explicit messages and intimate images, and was made subject to the sex offender notification requirements. The tribunal found no evidence of insight or remediation and imposed an immediate order so that the suspension takes effect at once.
