A celebrity TV doctor who has a clinic on Newcastle's Quayside, is under investigation by the medical watchdog after allegations were made against him.
Dr Tijion Esho, who has featured on ITV’s This Morning, BBC’s Morning Live and E4’s Body Fixers has had restrictions placed on his ability to practice while an inquiry is carried out by the General Medical Council ( GMC ). While the investigation is conducted, Dr Esho, whose real name is Oluwafemi Esho, must abide by a number of "interim conditions", which include not carrying out consultations alone on female patients or having contact with patients outside of a clinical setting.
A GMC spokesperson told the Liverpool Echo : “Dr Oluwafemi Esho has restrictions on his practice while we investigate the allegations against him. We referred Dr Esho to an Interim Orders Tribunal at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in August 2022, who imposed a number of interim conditions on his practice. These include that, except in life-threatening emergencies, he must not carry out consultations with female patients without a chaperone present and except in life-threatening emergencies he must not make contact with patients outside of a clinical setting, either virtually or face-to-face.”
