Legal representation in regulatory proceedings can be expensive. However Regulatory Defence was able to tailor the legal services we provide in order to work closely with a Pharmacy Technician who was facing a GPhC hearing.

The hearing focused on the Technician’s fitness to practice. This was due to impairment grounds related to a conviction for racially aggravated assault and a misconduct allegation involving inappropriate drug use.

In the weeks leading up to the hearing, Regulatory Defence worked closely with the registrant. They provided specific legal advice and helped review and draft the submissions presented to the panel, which addressed both the impairment and potential sanctions.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the registrant and Regulatory Defence’s expert knowledge of regulatory proceedings, the panel reached a favourable decision. They found no impairment and issued a 12-month warning instead, serving as a reminder for the registrant to maintain professionalism at all times.

If you are facing a fitness to practise hearing or involved in an investigation and feel you cannot afford expert legal advice, Regulatory Defence can assist you. Please get in touch with Regulatory Defence today. We offer tailored services depending on your circumstances and the facts of your investigation or hearing.
