Part C: stage three - sanction

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

This stage outlines the outcomes available to the MPT which are:

  • take no action
  • impose conditions on the doctor’s registration for up to three years
  • suspend the doctor’s registration for up to 12 months, or
  • erasure the doctor’s name from the medical register.
