| Neville Raymond Blomeley | Medical practitioner (general practitioner, sports medicine) | A GP at the Indooroopilly Day and Night Medical Centre, he began a sexual relationship with a long-term female patient during a consultation in November 2010 and continued treating her until July 2012. She had consulted him about marriage difficulties and was being treated for depression; the Board and Blomeley accepted she was vulnerable and that the relationship harmed her mental health. He had a previous disciplinary finding in 2003 for supplying pethidine to a drug-dependent patient. No criminal charges. Professional misconduct finding. | Registration suspended for 15 months from 1 July 2014; reprimand; chaperone conditions for 12 months on return; Board's costs. QCAT (Hon J B Thomas, Judicial Member, with Dr S Pozzi, Dr R Rosengren and P Murdoch) gave a shorter sanction than the Board's proposed two-year suspension, declined extra supervision orders and let the suspension start later so he could hand over patients, citing his references and sporting and Rotary roles. | Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal | QLD, Australia | 2014-05-23 |
