Врача-эколога, осужденного за повреждение заправочных станций, отстранили от практики еще на 10 месяцев

A GP who was jailed after damaging petrol pumps during a Just Stop Oil protest in Essex has been suspended from practising for a further 10 months. Dr Patrick Hart was found to be impaired following a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service review hearing held on August 28. The tribunal imposed a 10-month suspension after considering the case, which related to Hart’s convictions and misconduct arising from climate protests in Grays. The decision follows an earlier 10-month suspension handed to Hart in October 2025 after he was convicted of criminal damage at the Esso Service Station at Thurrock Motorway Services. Hart took part in a Just Stop Oil demonstration at the site on August 24, 2022, when access to the forecourt was blocked and fuel pumps were damaged using a hammer and orange spray paint. He was convicted at Chelmsford Crown Court in October 2024 of causing criminal damage worth around £11,000 and was sentenced to 12 months’ immediate custody in January 2025. Hart had also previously been convicted of aggravated trespass following a separate protest at the Exolum terminal in Grays in April 2022.

The latest GMC tribunal listing states that the hearing has concluded, with the outcome recorded as a 10-month suspension. It lists the matter as involving conviction/caution and misconduct, and confirms Hart remains impaired. Full details of the tribunal’s latest decision are expected to be published within 28 days of the hearing being concluded.
