Lawrence McAlpine, 69, was alleged to have groped them at Glasgow’s Ross Hall Hospital.
Court papers stated that McAlpine was acting in his capacity as a consultant doctor conducting medical examinations.
It was claimed that McAlpine touched the first woman – now aged 67 – on the breasts on July 21, 2021.
