Doctors who change gender are allowed to scrub past wrongdoing from public record
A tribunal concerning a trans doctor in Fife has highlighted how the GMC ‘wipes’ the disciplinary records of doctors that transition
“If a doctor had received a historical sanction [i.e. the suspension is no longer in place] prior to transitioning, this information would not be available on their new public-facing record on the medical register,” says a GMC spokesman. The GMC confirms that Dr Upton is one of 62 doctors to have been given new registrations under different GMC numbers, meaning that future patients would be unable to see any details of their doctor’s previous identity by searching the GMC’s online database using the medic’s new name and number.
