Third GP loses appeal to keep specialist status following historical paperwork blunder
The medical board missed that Dr Tracey Rush had not completed an accredited training program.
A GP who was stripped of her specialist registration when a decade-old paperwork bungle was discovered has lost her legal appeal.
Dr Tracey Rush is the third GP to unsuccessfully challenge the loss of specialist registration following a Medical Board of Australia audit that concluded a number of GPs were wrongly added to the specialist register back in 2010.
At the time, GPs had to have completed an accredited fellowship program with the RACGP or ACRRM or meet the grandfathering rule of being vocationally registered between 1989 and 1995.
Dr Rush was on a list of GP fellows that ACRRM had provided to the board in 2010.
