Dr Keith Wolverson — MPTS Directs Erasure from the Medical Register
Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) · GMC Ref 4328696 · Review Hearing, 9–10 April 2026
Erasure Directed
Disposition
On 10 April 2026, following a review hearing conducted in Dr Wolverson’s absence, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal determined that his fitness to practise remained impaired by reason of misconduct and directed that his name be erased from the medical register. The Tribunal found no evidence of insight or remediation, and noted a pattern of misconduct dating back to 2018, including working as a locum while suspended in 2022.
Overview
Dr Keith Wolverson (MB BS, University of London, 1996; GMC Ref 4328696) worked as a General Practitioner and locum GP. His regulatory history spans multiple MPTS hearings beginning in 2022, arising from conduct during a 2018 consultation at Royal Stoke University Hospital and subsequent dishonesty findings, compounded by his working as a locum while his registration was under suspension in November 2022. A series of review hearings followed. By the time of the April 2026 review, the Tribunal found that Dr Wolverson had completely disengaged from the GMC since May 2025, provided no evidence of insight or remediation, and had not practised medicine since 2022. The Tribunal directed erasure as the only proportionate sanction.
