Registration refused
November 2, 2015
NSW pharmacist John Fryar had
his application for a reinstatement
order so he could seek re-registration
turned down by the
NSW Civil and Administrative
Tribunal (NCAT) last week.
Fryar’s registration had been
cancelled more than two years ago,
when the Tribunal found him guilty
of both unsatisfactory professional
conduct and professional
misconduct, with an order that he
could not apply for re-registration
for a minimum period of 18 months
thereafter.
The case related to his conduct
at the Hunter Connect Pharmacy
in Pitt Street, Sydney, which he
owned, and allegations that
he inappropriately dispensed
prescribed restricted substances to
patients, including anabolic steroids
and benzodiazepines.
Fryar sought a review of the order
in Jun this year, and last week the
Tribunal published its decision
dismissing his application.
In the ruling it was found that
Fryar had failed to show contrition
for his prior misconduct, and that
“he did not demonstrate insight
into what had caused him to
engage in this misconduct.
“For these and other reasons,
NCAT was not satisfied that Mr
Fryar was a fit and proper person
to be registered in the profession of
pharmacy,” the Tribunal said.
