A GWYNEDD doctor lied to pharmacy staff in a bid to collect a prescription for himself. Dr Callum Metcalfe, who worked at a surgery in Penrhyndeudraeth, posed as a patient and told the pharmacist he didn't know the prescriber.
Dr Metcalfe, who worked as a GP registrar at the Bron Meirion practice after qualifying from the University of Manchester in 2019, has been suspended from medical work after a series of deceptions.
A medical tribunal panel heard he went to the Tesco pharmacy in Bangor on January 2, 2022, and presented a prescription to staff, which he claimed was from an A&E department.
