Doctor admitted prescribing opioids to six patients in excessive strengths or quantities
A doctor who admitted working under the influence of opioids cannot be named although a hearing concerning sanctions to be imposed on him can be held in public, the president of the High Court has ruled.
The doctor has taken steps to recover from his addiction and other mental health problems and has spent a substantial period not practising medicine. He also obtained Tramadol and/or Cyclimorph and well as Pethidine and/or morphine sulphate from practice stock supplies or by using stock practice prescriptions.
The FtPC recommended censure although the Medical Council CEO said his registration should be cancelled because his conduct was “at the most serious end of the spectrum”.
