A Cambridge-educated doctor who confessed he used his surgery for illicit sex with a string of women has been struck off the medical register for life.
What Is the Cambridge Doctor Scandal?
Dr Tom Plimmer, 40, who appeared on Channel 4 show First Dates in 2018, used his consulting room at his surgery as a haven to have sex with multiple women over a three-year period.
He was also found performing a lewd sex act on himself in the surgery – and was even accused of sexually harassing a junior colleague before telling her to ‘visit a suicide booth like they have on Futurama’. Â
The self confessed sex addict admitted he had ruined lives by ‘lying and cheating’ he fought to save his career at a hearing of the medical industry watchdog.
He now claims he was a reformed character who had turned to God.
His Victims Want Justice
But the women he used for sex in his surgery – sometimes with patients waiting outside to be seen – blasted his claims to have changed as ‘a sham’.
After considering the evidence presented before it over two weeks in September last year, the panel concluded Dr Plimmer was guilty of seven complaints he had denied.

Court Ruling
Claire Lindley, chairman of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel, delivered the panel’s ruling on Tuesday.
She said: ‘Dr Plimmer we have considered your case carefully and we have listened carefully to the submissions made on your behalf.
‘However the tribunal has decided your behaviour was fundamentally incompatible with being a doctor and the tribunal has decided to erase your name from the medical register.’
