‘Deliberately humiliating’: Court puts prominent GP’s conditions on hold
The medical board had banned Dr Julian Fidge from prescribing controlled drugs until he completed an education program
A temporary ban preventing a GP from prescribing controlled drugs has been lifted, after a court found there was no “compelling urgency” for the Medical Board of Australia to take action.
Dr Julian Fidge, who was a candidate in last year’s RACGP presidential election, came to the attention of AHPRA in mid-2021 after he contacted the Northeast Health Wangaratta ED about one of his patients.
