A Walton doctor is facing a medical tribunal for alleged offences spanning a period of six years, which she claims were kick-started by her support for a fellow doctor who faced fraud charges in 2007 at the “hotbed of hatred” surgery at which they both worked.

Dr Gaynor Elizabeth Lewis, 62, is accused of various offences between 2008 and 2014 including working with patients despite being handed a suspension during her time as a general practitioner for the White Practice at the Walton Health Centre in Rodney Road.

In 2013 Dr Lewis called the White Practice a “hotbed of hatred” after a fellow doctor, Lucia Gibson, was finally cleared after a six-year fraud battle regarding her competence in the medical field.

She also claimed that she was reported to health practitioner regulators for supporting Dr Gibson throughout her tribunal, saying: “I knew that she was completely innocent of everything.

“She is a good, caring doctor.”

In a public document released by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) on Wednesday, November 11, allegations have now been made against her.

Dr Lewis is said to have made several false accusations against fellow doctors and nurses to the now defunct Surrey Primary Care Trust without evidence.

Accusations against her include accusing another doctor of altering patient records as well as “improperly accessing patient records”, “soliciting patients” from the practice and entering the practice “improperly”.

She is also accused of reducing several doctors’ computer access levels, despite being instructed by the practice to stop.

The documents also allege in February 2010, that Dr Lewis, who received her primary medical qualification from the University of Cambridge in 1978 and previously worked for Thames Medical LLP, failed to offer one patient an annual influenza vaccination.

She is also alleged to have incorrectly recorded one patient had an “acute meniscal tear” and failed to record another’s symptoms or conduct a chest examination.

Between 2011 and 2012, Dr Lewis had also allegedly failed to co-operate with NHS Surrey and the General Medical Council in arranging a series of health assessments and reviews.

The final accusation stated how Dr Lewis “worked as duty medical officer for Kingston Regatta (hereinafter “the Regatta”), in breach of your interim suspension”.

It details how she allegedly failed to notify the Regatta organisers, St John Ambulance staff and patients of her suspension, and that in doing so was “misleading” and “dishonest”.

The MPTS’s concluding message stated: “Because of the matters set out above, your fitness to practice is impaired because of your misconduct.”

The General Medical Council declined to comment on Dr Lewis’s “fitness to practice” ahead of the conclusion of the 25-day hearing that was listed at the Tribunal Service’s panel in Manchester from November 2.
