Shaken baby expert doctor's 'fitness to practise impaired'
A tribunal has ruled that a leading doctor, who was found to have misled courts as an expert witness for parents accused of killing their children, has had her fitness to practise impaired.
Last week the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled that Dr Waney Squier had given irresponsible evidence outside her area of expertise.
Quote Message: The tribunal considers that the gravity of your misconduct is such that public confidence in the profession and the regulatory process would be undermined if a finding of impairment were not made in this case. For these reasons the tribunal has determined that your fitness to practise is currently impaired by reason of your misconduct. from Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service declaration
