No restrictions imposed on doctor who endorsed Neary

A DOCTOR found guilty of professional misconduct will continue in his role as president of a world- renowned medical society.

Professor Walter Prendiville, who had a finding of professional misconduct upheld against him this week by the Medical Council, is to remain on as president of the prestigious British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology.

Trustee and founder of the society, Dr Joe Jordan, said he did not consider Prof Prendiville’s position untenable. He said Prof Prendiville had the society’s support and would remain president until his term is up in 2008.
