Dr. Neill Garrard successfully challenged his dismissal from Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust following a flawed investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. The tribunal found significant errors made by the trust's associate director during the investigation. In December 2024, the MPTS cleared him of two misconduct allegations, including one involving a patient. However, this decision was recently quashed by a High Court, prompting another tribunal amidst ongoing scrutiny from regulatory bodies. This case raises important questions around investigative procedures within healthcare and the impact on professionals accused of misconduct.
