Wolverhampton GP who discussed child abuse fantasies struck off

The hearing was also told that although there was no evidence that his conviction caused direct harm to children, his conviction had the potential to cause serious harm.

The tribunal determined that Glover “brought the profession into disrepute and breached fundamental tenets of the profession, specifically relating to acting within the law”.

His fitness to practise was deemed “impaired” and there was no evidence to suggest his guilty plea was based on remorse or contrition.

The tribunal also determined that due to the very serious nature of the offences, he did “pose a real risk to public safety”.

Ms Hughes submitted that an immediate order of suspension was necessary in order to protect members of the public and otherwise in the public interest.

A risk of repetition, lack of insight and remediation, was also highlighted.
