The General Dental Council is to decide what sanctions to take against a dentist found guilty of breaking wind in front of colleagues and patients.

The GDC ruled that Matthew Walton also made rude comments about patients and made v-signs behind their back. The offences took place at his practice in Shropshire in 2006 and 2007. Nurse Carol Stokes, who used to work with Mr Walton, said: “The smell made us feel sick. But he found it funny.”

Can’t thank Harriet and Hannah from the Family Law department enough for their help and support while navigating a difficult year. Their professionalism was second to none - I would recommend Winton Solicitors to any and all seeking legal advice.
