Preliminary matters

Remote hearing conducted via video-link

1. This hearing was conducted remotely, with the Registrant, the HCPC’s Presenting Officer, the members of the Panel, the Legal Assessor, and the Hearings Officer all participating via video-link.

Application for the hearing to be held in private

2. Ms Welsh, on behalf of the HCPC, made an application for the entire hearing to be conducted in private, under Rule 10(1)(a) of the Health Professions Council (Health Committee) (Procedure) Rules, 2003, so as to protect the private life of the Registrant, as the case concerned the Registrant’s health.
