Radiographer Struck Off for Sexual Misconduct

Christopher Gyiripah, a radiographer at Frimley Park Hospital, has been struck off the professional register following findings of gross misconduct. The Health and Care Professionals Tribunal Service (HCPTS) concluded that Mr. Gyiripah made "unwanted sexual advances" towards two colleagues, claims he had denied.

During theatre training, he allegedly asked a junior colleague about her relationship preferences and if she had a boyfriend. In a separate incident, he asked another staff member to sit on his lap and made a thigh-patting gesture, causing her discomfort. He was dismissed in April 2022 for gross misconduct.
