While 40 sexual misconduct concerns have been raised with the regulator since 2020, just three were referred for fitness-to-practise (FtP) hearings and “none” resulted in removal from the register, C+D can reveal.
Kate Bowie joined C+D as a digital reporter in August 2023 after graduating from a master’s in journalism at City, University of London. She began covering the primary care beat at the end of 2022, when she carried out several health investigations focused on staffing issues, NHS funding and health inequalities.
