A WOMAN has complained to the General Medical Council over the actions of a former Bury doctor during a medical examination.

The woman from Waterfoot says she is seeking compensation from Bury Healthcare NHS Trust who employed Mr Alexander Clubb.

The doctor, who was acting as a locum consultant gynaecologist, was dismissed last year after he was accused of assaulting four patients.

His contract was ended at a disciplinary hearing in October for gross misconduct through physical assault.

The 29-year-old woman's lawyer said today: "We are pursuing a claim from the trust for psychological injury and physical assault." But Dr Clubb has maintained he did nothing wrong during an examination.

Mr David Clements, trust general manager, said Dr Clubb had been fired for not adequately seeking consent before an examination.

Dr Clubb, who lives in Stone, Staffordshire, said he had been shocked and upset by the women's allegations.

He said: "I have been qualified for 45 years and I did nothing different in Bury than I did anywhere else. I have never had a single complaint previously."

The case has been reported to the General Medical Council, who said they were considering taking action.
