The conduct of Dr Nicholas Chapman was heard at a tribunal held by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) between June 23 and July 8 2025.

The tribunal examined allegations that Dr Chapman had, on one or more occasions between 2016 and 2021, engaged in a course of conduct against Ms A – “that constituted sexual harassment, was sexually motivated and was an abuse of his senior position.”

The tribunal also examined how, in 2021, Dr Chapman had given Ms B a cup of coffee that contained semen matching his DNA profile, for which he was convicted of attempting to cause a person to engage in sexual activity without consent in June 2023 — resulting in a 12-month community order, a 10-year restraining order, and being ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for a period of 5 years. 

The Tribunal received “no evidence of apology, reflection, insight or remediation from Dr Chapman in respect of his conviction.”

Referencing the conduct against Ms A, the tribunal “found proved” that Dr Chapman had shown the victim photographs of an erect penis. It was also determined and “found proved” that he had shown her images of “unclothed women and/or that were pornographic in nature”.

It was determined and found proved by the tribunal that Dr Chapman had asked Ms A if she had found him on a dating app, asked her why she had not found him on the dating app, and suggested she should ‘look for [him]’ on the dating app.

In approximately 2020, Dr Chapman kissed Ms A on the lips, the tribunal determined and “found proved”. Then in May 2021, Dr Chapman hugged Ms A and touched Ms A’s bottom, the tribunal determined and “found proved”.

MPTS Chair, Mr Jonathan Storey, concluded that the erasure of Dr Chapman from the medical register “was the only sanction that would mark the seriousness of his misconduct and conviction.”

Mr Storey added: “Erasure would send a message to the medical profession and to the public that this type of behaviour was unacceptable.”
