PLEASE NOTE
Readers of this page should be aware that the UK’s Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service determined that Ben Sessa’s fitness to practice is impaired and suspended his medical license for 12 months. Sessa admitted to “engaging in a sexual relationship with Patient A, who had previously been a patient of Dr Sessa’s and who was vulnerable due to a variety of mental health conditions, of which Dr Sessa was aware.”
