Summary of the Undertaking given by Dr. Geoffrey Brian Davis to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, effective October 19, 2017:
The College received information from the Narcotics Monitoring System about Dr. Davis’s prescribing of controlled substances, including narcotics.
Based on the information received, the College conducted an investigation into whether Dr. Davis failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession and/or was incompetent in his prescribing of controlled substances, including narcotics. As a result of the investigation:
Dr. Davis will not take on any new patients with chronic non-cancer pain, with the exception of new patients whose care he assumes for the purpose of providing palliative care.
Dr. Davis’s prescribing of narcotic drugs, narcotic preparations, controlled drugs, benzodiazepines and other targeted substances, and
other monitored drugs will be supervised by a Clinical Supervisor acceptable to the College for minimum of nine (9) months.
Dr. Davis will engage in professional education in the prescribing of controlled substances, including narcotics.
Following the professional education and period of supervision, Dr. Davis’s prescribing of controlled substances, including narcotics, will be re-assessed by an assessor selected by the College.
