MPT review : stage two - sanction

At Stage two of an medical practitioners tribunal (MPT) review hearing, the MPT will consider what regulatory action, if any, is needed to protect the public.

This stage outlines the outcomes available to an MPT review tribunal which are:

  • take no further action,
  • revoke the current sanction immediately,
  • revoke or vary any specific conditions imposed under a current sanction of conditions for the remainder of the current period,
  • extend any current sanction of conditions or suspension from when it would otherwise expire,
  • impose a different sanction,
  • or erase the doctor's name from the medical register.
