In or around April 2023 Dr Mohammed prescribed for himself four medications, two of which were controlled drugs. This was in breach of GMC guidance. This behaviour 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 and associated guidance. In this case, paragraphs 16 and 28 of Good medical practice and paragraph 68 of Good practice in prescribing and managing medicines and devices is particularly relevant. Good medical practice (2013), which was the guidance in place at the time of the relevant events: 16 In providing clinical care you must: g wherever possible, avoid providing medical care to yourself or anyone with whom you have a close personal relationship. 28 If you know or suspect that you have a serious condition that you could pass on to patients, or if your judgement or performance could be affected by a condition or its treatment, you must consult a suitably qualified colleague. You must follow their advice about any changes to your practice they consider necessary. You must not rely on your own assessment of the risk to patients. 1 Good practice in prescribing and managing medicines and devices: 68 You must not prescribe controlled drugs for yourself or someone close to you unless: a. no other person with the legal right to prescribe is available to assess and prescribe without a delay b. emergency treatment is immediately necessary to avoid serious deterioration in health or serious harm Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Dr Mohammed'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.
