Investigation continues into disgraced vet
RCVS investigation ongoing following Court conviction

The RCVS has confirmed that its own investigation is ongoing into the case of veterinary surgeon Dr Ohene-Gyan, following his sentencing to 21 weeks in custody and a lifetime ban on owning or keeping animals for breaches of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Dr Ohene-Gyan was convicted by Reading Magistrates’ Court in relation to animals that were under his care, and sentenced on 11 July 2012.  The charges included failure to treat and care for animals appropriately, causing them unnecessary suffering.

Dr Ohene-Gyan, who qualified in Hungary, currently remains on the RCVS Register, as the RCVS has no power of interim suspension.

RCVS Acting Registrar Gordon Hockey said: “We have been carrying out a parallel investigation, and Dr Ohene-Gyan’s case will be considered by our Preliminary Investigation Committee shortly.”
