Erasure(struck off the register)
The MPTS tribunal directed Dr William Smerdon's removal from the medical register after finding sexual misconduct involving two vulnerable patients. This included a sexual relationship with one patient and non-consensual kissing and touching of another. It imposed an immediate suspension, finding limited insight and a continuing risk of repetition. Allegations that he controlled or manipulated the first patient were not proved, and several other allegations were also rejected.
