Sex case Oswestry doctor found guilty

A married family doctor from Oswestry has been found guilty of serious misconduct after being secretly recorded having sexual encounters with a patient.

Dr Simon Robinson was found guilty at a tribunal and the patient, mother-of-four Jill Tudor, waived her right to anonymity to call for him to be struck off today.

A General Medical Council diciplinary panel yesterday ruled Dr Robinson, 44, was guilty of having an affair with Miss Tudor between July 2009 and November 2010.

The panel found Robinson, 44, guilty of serious misconduct. He was due to learn whether he would be struck off later today.

Today Miss Tudor, 50, said the GP 'groomed' her for sex sessions.

"I feel he was grooming me for his own sexual satisfaction," she said. "At first it made me feel special, but I eventually realised he was taking advantage of me."

Miss Tudor, who was known as Patient A during the hearing, was Robinson's patient at the Cae Glas Surgery in Oswestry.

The pair began having sexual encounters but always stopped short of full intercourse. Miss Tudor said that after she told her two grown-up sons what was happening, she realised it was wrong. She today said: "I'd begun to feel cheap and nasty. He was using me."

GMC panel chairman Professor Denis McDevitt told Robinson: "Your sexual relationship with Patient A is a serious departure from the standards expected of a registered medical practitioner. It was an abuse of the doctor-patient relationship and of the trust Patient A was entitled to place in you.

"It was an abuse of your professional position. Furthermore, your denial of the allegation means that you have been unable to demonstrate either insight or any attempt to overcome the deficiencies in your professional behaviour.''
