A GP who failed to properly assess a patient who died of heart failure has escaped disciplinary action after voluntarily giving up his medical registration.
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal accepted a Health Care Complaints Commission application to withdraw its complaint against the 78-year-old doctor after he surrendered his registration in April.
