A community in Nottingham have voiced their anger over their former GP who was sanctioned after mistreating nine patients. Despite living next door to the Willows Medical Centre in Carlton, neighbours said they would have rather travelled elsewhere because they could not trust their local doctor Sylvester Nyatsuro.
Many said they are "not surprised" that the practice was repossessed in October 2016 after a healthcare assistant posed as a doctor and carried out internal examinations. It had 3,600 patients registered to a GP with just one full-time doctor and one GP locum, and the CQC suspended services because of how it was being run.
A total of 30 allegations were made by the General Medical Council (GMC, an online list of doctors registered to practice in the UK) against Dr Nyatsuro, originally from Zimbabwe, and 26 of these were either admitted by Dr Nyatsuro or found proven by a Medical Practitioners' Tribunal (MPTS). His fitness to practice was determined to be impaired during a tribunal at the MPTS centre in Manchester due to misconduct, and it was determined he should be sanctioned.
