| Andrew North | Medical practitioner (general practitioner) | He had a three-year sexual relationship (1999 to 2002) with a woman he was treating as her GP. When his former wife complained in 2011 he signed an 'ardent denial' to the Board, denying the affair three times and attacking his former wife's credibility, and recanted only when the patient confirmed the relationship. No criminal charges. Disciplinary grounds established, including a false statement to the Board's investigator. | Reprimand; 3 months' suspension, itself suspended after one month on conditions (boundary counselling, Board access to his patient and Medicare records for 2 years); reprimand removed from the public register after 2 years; Board's costs. QCAT (Judge Fleur Kingham, Deputy President, with Dr Kong Goh, Fiona Petty and Dr John Waller) accepted the jointly proposed orders and limited how long the reprimand stays on the public register. | Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal | QLD, Australia | 2012-07-20 |
