[DanBC]

It's not a permanent modification in most cases.

He pled guilty to a criminal offence, but that offence is at the lower range. (Assault covers a range, from assault at the low end (doesn't require physical contact), then assault by battery (requires physical contact) to ABH then GBH.

I think he's going to get a suspended sentence.

He's got a warning from an interim hearing from MPTS, and you can see the warning on the GMC lists.

Does this work?

Here's the text of the warning:

> In August 2013 and on more than one other occasion Mr Bramhall initialled patients’ livers using an argon beam coagulator. This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good Medical Practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraph 47 and 65 of Good Medical Practice are particularly relevant. 47. You must treat patients as individuals and respect their dignity and privacy. 65. You must make sure that your conduct justifies your patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in the profession. Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Mr Bramhall's registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning.
