Firas Karim MAJEED

Between 29-30 January 2024 Dr Majeed underwent a General Medical Council assessment of the standard of his professional performance. His professional performance was unacceptable in the following areas: Assessment of Patients’ Condition and Clinical Management. This performance does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It puts patient safety at risk, and must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good medical practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraphs 7, 15, 16(a) &(b) and 18 of GMP are particularly relevant, namely: 7 You must be competent in all aspects of your work, including management, research and teaching. 15 You must provide a good standard of practice and care. If you assess, diagnose or treat patients, you must: a adequately assess the patient’s conditions, taking account of their history (including the symptoms and psychological, spiritual, social and cultural factors), their views and values; where necessary, examine the patient b promptly provide or arrange suitable advice, investigations or treatment where necessary c refer a patient to another practitioner when this serves the patient’s needs. 16 In providing clinical care you must: a prescribe drugs or treatment, including repeat prescriptions, only when you have adequate knowledge of the patient’s health and are satisfied that the drugs or treatment serve the patient’s needs b provide effective treatments based on the best available evidence ….. 18 You must make good use of the resources available to you. Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Majeed’s registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning. This warning will be published on the medical register in line with our publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy.
