Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) is an independent body that assesses concerns about doctors’ fitness to practice medicine. If a doctor’s conduct, competence, or health raises questions, the MPTS investigates and holds hearings to determine whether the doctor should be warned, have conditions placed on their practice, or be suspended or removed from the medical register. Its goal is to protect patient safety while ensuring fair treatment for doctors. The MPTS operates independently of medical regulators and healthcare organizations, making impartial decisions based on evidence and professional standards.
