What is an MPTS Hearing?

​

An MPTS hearing is convened to assess whether your fitness to practise is impaired due to concerns raised about conduct, competence, health, or criminal convictions.

​

Common reasons for MPTS hearings include:

  • Allegations of misconduct or serious professional failings.

  • Clinical competence concerns impacting patient safety.

  • Criminal convictions or cautions.

  • Health conditions affecting the doctor’s ability to practise safely.

  • Breaches of GMC guidance or ethical standards.

​

​

The MPTS Hearing Process

​

MPTS hearings typically follow these stages:

  • The case is referred to the MPTS by the GMC following an investigation.

  • The tribunal panel reviews evidence, including witness statements and expert reports.

  • The professional is given the opportunity to present their case, including legal arguments and supporting evidence.

  • The tribunal determines whether the individual’s fitness to practise is impaired.

  • If impairment is found, possible sanctions include warnings, conditions on practice, suspension, or removal from the medical register.
