Warnings
on the registrant's registration
Warnings are issued to indicate when a registrant's behaviour or performance is significantly below the standards expected, but when restricting a registrant's practice is not necessary. See more on warnings.

04 Sep 2025
‘In December 2020 Dr Nosina sent malicious communications to Mr A and a threatening email to Ms B. Dr Nosina’s actions caused distress to Mr A and Ms B. In January 2021, Dr Nosina accepted a Community Resolution Order. In June 2022, Dr Nosina attended at Lanark Sheriff Court and received an absolute discharge for his actions. Dr Nosina failed to notify the GMC without delay that he had committed a criminal offence and accepted a Community Resolution Order. The Tribunal found Dr Nosina’s misconduct to be serious and that he failed to exercise self-control and restraint in dealing with his emotions. It also found Dr Nosina’s conduct to be deplorable and unconscionable.
This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good medical practice. In this case, the following paragraphs of Good medical practice are particularly relevant:
‘1 … Good doctors…act with integrity and within the law.’
…
65 You must make sure that your conduct justifies your patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in the profession.
…
75 You must tell us without delay if, anywhere in the world:
…
b you have been charged with or found guilty of a criminal offence’
In addition, the recitation of the duties of a doctor registered with the GMC, set out in Good medical practice include the following:
‘Never abuse… the public’s trust in the profession’
Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Nosina’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.’
