Finding

The PCC considered an allegation that Mr Farthing advertised as a chiropractor whilst suspended from the Register of Chiropractors. The PCC found Mr Farthing guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. The PCC determined that Mr Farthing's behaviour is "fundamentally incompatible with continuing to be a registered chiropractor. There was an abuse of trust of patients and serious harm to the reputation of the profession and confidence of the public in the profession. There was also a persistent lack of insight." The PCC determined that the findings against Mr Farthing are so serious that a sanction of suspension would not be sufficient to protect the public, maintain confidence in the profession and uphold standards of practice. The PCC concluded that the minimum sanction necessary to protect patients and to maintain public confidence in the profession is to remove Mr Farthing from the Register of Chiropractors. The order for removal came into effect on 11 June 2009.
