Dr. Ewere Onyekpe, a locum registrar, is said to have begun a sexual relationship with the woman while working at the Whittington Hospital in Archway in June 2020.
He was initially given a six-month suspension in January 2023 over the relationship, but this was overturned after the High Court ruled that the decision was fundamentally flawed.
A hearing in February reconsidered the case, finding that Dr. Onyekpe was guilty of misconduct and he was suspended for 12 months.
The tribunal heard that Dr. Onyekpe should have known the patient was vulnerable due to her health conditions and medical history.
