Formally warned
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Ufunwen Osayi's fitness to practise is not currently impaired, but issued him a warning. Dr Osayi, a Consultant Histopathologist at Basildon Hospital, admitted serious failings in three coronial post-mortem examinations carried out in 2023, including not following professional guidelines, insufficient sampling, and giving incorrect causes of death. The tribunal accepted he had developed insight, undertaken extensive remediation and changed his practice, but a warning was needed to mark the seriousness of the past errors.
