THE Pharmacy Board of Australia has cancelled the registration of a pharmacist/medical practitioner due to professional misconduct.The Board referred Gyu Sung Lee to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in Mar 2016, over his conduct as a registered pharmacist in 2013/14.
He was alleged to have misappropriated prescription pads from a hospital, produced false prescriptions and presented them to other pharmacists, and dishonestly obtained prescription medications for his own use.
Lee, who later also graduated with a medical degree, notified the Board after he was charged with theft and possession of drugs of dependence.
He pleaded guilty in a Magistrates' Court in late 2014 and was sentenced without conviction to a six month good behaviour bond.
Lee has not worked as a pharmacist since Mar 2014 and is now disqualified from reapplying for three years.
