A senior doctor who was found guilty of “misconduct which impairs his fitness to practise” in his treatment of 13-year-old Martha Mills will face no sanction due to “exceptional circumstances”.
The disciplinary tribunal said on Wednesday that it would take no further action with respect to Prof Richard Thompson because it was a “single lapse of judgment in an otherwise exemplary career”. It said there were no outstanding public protection issues and it was not the tribunal’s role to punish him.
