Dr Julius Awakame, who is a psychiatrist, was cleared by a disciplinary panel three years ago after encouraging a woman to have an exorcism but has now been fired by Mount Gould Hospital in Plymouth.
As of 25th July, he is now subject to conditions on his future career, including telling the General Medical Council of any new post he takes up, the location and all the contact details of his next job.
Dr Awakame must also be supervised in all of his posts by a clinical supervisor, tell any new employers of his conditions and inform the GMC if he moves to a non-NHS post.
He trained at the University of Ghana in the nineties and later worked in Essex, where he was also fired from the North Essex Partnership Foundation Trust.
In 2016, it was reported that he gave a patient the name of a Nigerian Christian television channel, Emmanuel TV, after she said she was a childhood victim of a satanic paedophile ring.
His behaviour was cleared as it was decided he was acting empathetically and appropriately to what he understood.
