Overview
- HCPTS, the UK regulator for allied health professionals, removed Stephen Doohan from the register following his criminal convictions.
- Doohan is serving more than 10 years in prison after a guilty plea at Glasgow High Court in July for sexual assault and causing an abortion.
- The tribunal found he exploited workplace access to research misoprostol, a prescription drug used to induce abortion, to plan the attack.
- Prosecutors said he crushed abortion pills into a syringe and injected the woman at his Edinburgh flat in March 2023, which led to the loss of the pregnancy.
- He remains on the sex offenders' database for life under a non-harassment order, and the victim said the ruling helps protect patients and highlighted poor aftercare for survivors.
