Dr Graham Evangele Eli Michael Holmes graduated as a qualified doctor in 1974. Throughout his career, he has worked as a locum consultant in multiple areas of England, including Hampshire, Dorset, Greater Manchester, and the Wirral. However, after a series of concerns about his behavior, the professional regulator, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, has decided to revoke his license - 50 years after he first qualified.
One incident that raised concerns was when Dr Holmes urinated in a consultation room sink while pouring water down it, as witnessed by a colleague. The staff nurse who reported the incident, Christine Dolan, described how she saw him standing fully clothed by the sink with his penis in his hand, pouring water into the sink. Dr Holmes was not aware that he was being watched, and Christine immediately reported the incident to her manager.
This was not the only concerning incident at Gosport War Memorial Hospital. Another colleague overheard Dr Holmes telling a patient that she needed a CT scan to see if she had a brain. The patient, who had a slight learning difficulty, did not hear the comment, but it was deemed offensive and insulting by the MPTS. When questioned about this incident, Dr Holmes claimed that he could not remember making the comment, stating that his brain was not like a computer and did not hold all the information. He also denied making any such suggestions, stating that his memory does not serve him as well as a computer.
Further concerns were raised about Dr Holmes' behavior at other hospitals. In Dorset, he repeatedly failed to follow Covid-19 protocols at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in 2020. This behavior continued when he moved to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan, where he was accused of being the worst member of staff for not wearing his mask properly. However, the most serious misconduct occurred during his six-week tenure at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust in 2021. During this time, Dr Holmes deliberately did not comply with the conditions placed on his registration.
Ultimately, the MPTS found that there was no evidence of Dr Holmes acknowledging or apologizing for his serious misconduct. As a result, he has been permanently struck off from practicing medicine. This decision comes 50 years after Dr Holmes first qualified as a doctor, marking the end of his career in the medical field.
