Doctor was a potential ‘risk to his patients’

A DOCTOR who, it was alleged, was a potential “risk to himself and his patients” was found guilty of poor professional performance at a Medical Council fitness to practise inquiry in Dublin yesterday.

Dr Alabi Emmanuel Gbadebo, aged 49, did not attend the inquiry.

The hearing heard there were no incidents of patient harm reported against the doctor, who was employed by Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda in July 2010 but dismissed on August 13 because of allegations concerning his professional performance.
