Woman pretending to be a doctor treated cyclist after accident

A woman pretended to be a doctor and treated the casualty at the scene of an electric bike accident, a court was told on Thursday.

Joanne Graham got out of her car with two large bags of medical equipment and a clipboard, cut off clothing and fitted the patient with an oxygen mask. Graham, 47, of Mount Terrace, Corwen, North Wales denied pretending to be a medical practitioner by "wilfully and falsely using the title of doctor" at her trial at Llandudno Magistrates.

The court was told she claimed to have numerous qualifications including for "battlefield" treatments and she insisted she had introduced herself as a "trauma medic" after cyclist Martin Jones fell off his bike and ended up two feet down a ditch on the side of Green Lane in Corwen on June 27, 2021.
