A PARAMEDIC who grew up in the city has been struck off after a tribunal.

Stuart Wright, 50, who attended schools in Worcester, but is now based in Kingussie, Scotland, was given the verdict by a Health Care Professions Tribunal which he did not attend.

He was deemed to have made various inappropriate comments, including referring to two elderly women as “ignorant jocks”, after nearly colliding with them as they crossed the road.

The women were Italian.

He also remarked “why hurry for a fat, lazy Jock” when on a call out for an obese patient.

He shared a topless image of a workmate without consent, a tribunal heard.

Wright’s on the job working practices also came under question, where he failed to use blue lights/sirens during some call outs, asked a technician to administer morphine even though that person was not qualified to do so and there were reported issues around his record keeping.

He was also found to have left a girl waiting longer than she needed to have done while he finished watching a rugby match.

Wright got banned from a cafe after getting into an argument, threatening to stab a person in the neck, according to sources.

He joined the Scottish Ambulance Service NHS Scotland in November 2014, according to his online employment networking profile.

The Conduct and Competence Committee sat over three days earlier in the month in London to hear the allegations.

A spokeswoman for HCPC said: “As a regulator, the HCPC exists to protect the public by setting standards for professionals registered with us.

“We take action if professionals on our Register do not meet our standards.”

Worcester News has approached Wright for comment.
