Overview
- The GMC’s investigation found Dr. Martin Whyte’s tweets from April and October–November 2018 were grossly offensive and not intentionally antisemitic.
- The panel ruled the conduct fell just short of being serious enough to pose a risk to public protection, resulting in a formal warning rather than stronger measures.
- The warning will be published on his online record for two years and must be disclosed to prospective employers, while he remains a paediatrics trainee at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
- Posts cited included a message mocking the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre and a tweet referring to “Jew banker goblins.”
- The BMA said he was removed from all association business in 2023 and is permanently barred from elected office, as Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned the regulator’s response.
