The NMC found that Andrew Cassels’ sexual-assault conviction required a finding of impairment to uphold public confidence and professional standards. It accepted evidence of reflection and training, assessed the risk of repetition as low and found no basis for public-protection impairment. The panel imposed a six-month suspension with review, rejecting striking off as disproportionate.
