Radiographer is struck off register for 'working at private hospital while receiving paid sick leave'
A radiographer who was working at a hospital in the Black Country has been struck off after being accused of misconduct.
The Health and Care Professions (HCPC) has agreed to remove radiographer Kenneth R Hall from its register after his actions while working at Nuffield Hospital in Wolverhampton.
A panel of the HCPC conduct and competence committee heard that Mr Hall worked at the private hospital on four occasions while receiving paid sick leave from the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Panel also heard that Mr Hall did not accept that by doing so he acted dishonestly, and that he did not believe he had done wrong.
Panel chair William Nelson said: "The Panel therefore considers that Mr Hall has not demonstrated any insight into or remorse for his actions and denies any personal responsibility, continuing to blame other professionals.
"In the absence of any insight it is the panel's view that there must be a real risk of repetition of misconduct of this nature."
The panel concluded to strike the name of Kenneth R Hall from the HCPC register, which lists health professionals who meet their standards, including in conduct and ethics.
Mr Hall was present and represented by his counsel Ms Soraya Pascoe.
The HCPC is a regulator set up to protect the public. It keeps a register of health and care professionals who meet standards for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health.
Among the professions it monitors are chiropodists / podiatrists, clinical scientists, dietitians, hearing aid dispensers, occupational therapists, paramedics, physiotherapists and, radiographers.
