Two GPs who were mistakenly granted specialist registration because of a paperwork blunder have lost their legal fight with the Medical Board of Australia.
Dr Kathryn Hutt and Dr Scott Porter were among a group of doctors asked to prove they were qualified GPs after the board discovered they had been mistakenly granted specialist status when AHPRA was set up in 2010.
