Erasure(struck off the register)
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Velmurugan Kuppuswamy's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and directed his erasure from the Medical Register. The tribunal found he had engaged in sexual harassment and sexually motivated conduct towards two junior female colleagues while working as a locum consultant. It noted he had previously been erased for dishonesty in 2012 before being restored in 2020, and found limited meaningful insight and a risk of repetition. An immediate order was imposed pending appeal.
