A struck-off Aberdeen doctor who scored badly on competence tests has had his bid to start working again rejected by medical chiefs.
Dr Bartholomeus Lakeman worked for NHS Grampian as a doctor in child and adolescent psychiatry in Aberdeen between 2004 and 2010.
He was struck-off after concerns were raised to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) about his performance levels.
He sat 12 tests on his ability and scored below 25% in seven of them.
Dr Lakeman applied to the MPTS for permission to be put back on the register, allowing him to work as a doctor once again.
But a panel has ruled against his application – and barred anymore attempts for a year.
A report reads: “The tribunal determined that Dr Lakeman’s insight remained inadequate and there was insufficient evidence that he had remediated his deficiencies and kept his skills and knowledge up-to-date.
“Therefore the tribunal decided that Dr Lakeman was not remediated, that patient safety could not be ensured, and public confidence in the profession would be seriously undermined if his restoration application was granted.”
