Breaking news:

COLLINGWOOD’S chief medical officer has been stripped of his medical licence.

As the Magpies prepare to launch into pre-season, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency has this week moved to place Dr Chris Bradshaw on suspension.

The ruling means Bradshaw is banned from practising medicine in Australia.

The Herald Sun understands Bradshaw and his Magpie bosses were aware of the situation last night.

Bradshaw’s deputy Greg Shuttleworth is expected to step up in the interim.

Bradshaw’s registration details in the AHPRA database state: “Pursuant to section 191(3)(c) of the Act Dr Bradshaw is reprimanded”.

That section states: “If a panel decides a registered health practitioner or student has an impairment, or that a practitioner has behaved in a way that constitutes unsatisfactory professional performance or unprofessional conduct, the panel may decide to ... for a performance and professional standards panel, caution or reprimand the practitioner”.

“Chris will not be fulfilling his role as Collingwood physician in charge while this matter proceeds.

“Collingwood is not in a position to make any further comment.”

AHPRA has been asked for further detail on Dr Bradshaw’s status.

THE chief doctor at the Collingwood Football Club has been stripped of his medical licence.
According to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency website, Dr Chris Bradshaw has been “reprimanded”, with his registration status is “suspended”.

The AHPRA said that Bradshaw had been reprimanded in accordance with section 191(3)(c) of the National Law Act.

That section states that a performance and professional standards panel can caution or reprimand a practitioner if they “have an impairment” or have “behaved in a way that constitutes unsatisfactory professional performance or unprofessional conduct”.

The Herald Sun reported that Collingwood had been made aware of the situation.

“Chris will not be fulfilling his role as Collingwood physician in charge while this matter proceeds,” the Magpies said in a statement to the Herald Sun.

“Collingwood is not in a position to make any further comment.”

Greg Shuttleworth, Bradshaw’s deputy, is expected to step up into the role at Collingwood in the meantime.

Bradshaw joined the Pies in 2014 after eight seasons as Geelong’s senior doctor. He was also involved at Melbourne in the late ’80s and then spent over a decade at Richmond.

He has been based in recent years at the Corio Bay Sports Medicine Centre and the Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre.
 
A little less hysteria please . . .

The club doctor has had his license SUSPENDED

Not STRIPPED

VAST difference

A complaint may have been made and he may have been suspended pending investigation of the complaint.
You’ll defend anything. Can you at least say the club is a mess.
 
Ponies. This is a sign of their malign influence.
