A healthcare professional, identified as KT, instructed Kings View Chambers after experiencing difficulties with a number of ongoing regulatory matters.
A healthcare professional, identified as KT, instructed Kings View Chambers after experiencing difficulties with a number of ongoing regulatory matters.
Following a review of one General Medical Council (GMC) investigation, Kings View Chambers made representations on KT’s behalf. The GMC subsequently concluded its investigation, and the case was closed before it proceeded to a hearing before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
Kings View Chambers continues to represent KT in relation to other ongoing regulatory matters, which remain in progress.
Fitness to practise defence barrister Stephen McCaffrey said:
“You must have faith in your legal representatives. The consequences of poor or lazy representation can be dire. If you are in doubt, shop around.”
Following the conclusion of the GMC matter, KT said:
“I was absolutely impressed with the work Mr Stephen McCaffrey did for me. My GMC case had been referred for a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearing, but following his work on my behalf the referral was withdrawn before the tribunal hearing took place. He is the person who is doing the real job. I’m so lucky and happy that I met him and his team. He will be my lawyer forever. I recommend to everyone who needs that kind of service to fully trust him and his team as they really will sort it out!”
