Climate protest doctor’s fitness to practise ‘impaired’, tribunal rules

Just Stop Oil

By Sarah Lowden

A doctor from the West Midlands, who repeatedly broke the law while taking part in Just Stop Oil protests, is facing possible sanctions after a tribunal ruled her “fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct”.

Dr Sarah Benn, 57, was a GP for 32 years in Birmingham until stopping clinical work in April 2022. Since then she has devoted her time to environmental activism and voluntary work.
