Ex-chief psychiatrist 'rendered unemployable' gets licence conditions removed

Tasmania's former chief psychiatrist, Aaron Groves, had conditions on his medical registration removed after admitting to professional misconduct related to prescribing medication to his partner. The Medical Board of Australia brought charges against Groves for an improper relationship with a former patient and inappropriate drug prescriptions. While the tribunal cleared him of the relationship allegation, it upheld the prescription misconduct. Groves will need to undergo further training, though his license is now less restricted. The Medical Board was ordered to cover part of his legal costs related to the dismissed relationship claim. Groves met the woman after she complained about another doctor, and their relationship developed after personal communication began.
