The General Medical Council said 'there was no place for sexual misconduct' in medicine.
A doctor who was struck off the medical register for having sex with multiple women at his GP surgery has lost an appeal against his dismissal.found that former GP Thomas Plimmer, from Gloucester, admitted sending explicit content to colleagues, having sex during working hours and behaving inappropriately around women.
"Our position is very clear, there is no place for any form of sexual misconduct in the medical profession," a General Medical Council spokesperson said.The GMC said: "In Dr Plimmer's case his serious misconduct over several years, including non-consensual sexual touching and engaging in sexual activity whilst at work, was so egregious that his behaviour was fundamentally incompatible with continued registration.
"The judge agreed that Dr Plimmer's erasure from the medical register was fully justified in all the circumstances." The tribunal decided Dr Plimmer's behaviour was "so shocking" that a member of the public would be concerned if a sanction of erasure was not imposed.Inquiry demand for GPs where patients feel 'unsafe'Gloucester comfortably beat lacklustre Harlequins
