NHS radiographer struck off after asking trainee if she had a boyfriend and another to sit on his lap
NHS worker ‘intimidated’ colleagues in series of sexual advances
- NHS radiographer Christopher Gyiripah has been struck off the register for gross misconduct after making unwanted sexual advances towards female colleagues at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.
- Gyiripah was accused of asking a junior colleague personal questions, looking her up on Facebook, commenting on her appearance, and later hugging and squeezing her bottom, telling her, 'I felt like touching you, so I did'.
- He also asked another staff member to sit on his lap, making a 'patting gesture on his thigh', which made her feel 'very uncomfortable'.
- The Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) hearing concluded that Gyiripah exploited his position of power for 'sexual gratification' and made staff feel 'intimidated'.
- Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust dismissed Gyiripah in April 2022 following an internal investigation and stated its commitment to ensuring staff safety and addressing concerns promptly.
