He is accused of serious and systematic failings which had the potential to put patients at risk.

He faces charges involving over eighty patients.

He has admitted several charges of failing to refer patients and failing to file medical documents.

Anthony Chyc worked at Croxteth Hall Lane Medical Centre in Liverpool between September 1989 and September 1991.
