Warwick Seymour-Hamilton, an 86-year-old disgraced vet, has made his 12th unsuccessful attempt to be reinstated as a veterinarian after being struck off in 1994. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) rejected his application, urging him to reflect seriously on his past. In 1993, an inspector found appalling unhygienic conditions at his practice, including a foul smell and unsafe practices. Seymour-Hamilton continues to deny the findings of the 1994 investigation and remains committed to rejoining the profession despite repeated denials.
A disciplinary committee held in central London heard that the inspector who visited Mr Seymour-Hamilton's premises in 1993 was appalled by the unhygienic conditions in the operating theatre including the prevailing smell and slime under the mat. He said there was nowhere to wash with a pile of about 100 syringes on a dresser.
Warwick Seymour-Hamilton, now 86, was struck off the register in 1994 for keeping animals in appalling unhygienic conditions at his surgery in Orpington, Kent. Rejecting his latest vexatious attempt to rejoin the register, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) urged the octogenarian to take time seriously to reflect before trying again.
