Achuth HOSUR

On 18 April 2024, Dr Hosur engaged in unwanted conduct with colleague A in that he inappropriately touched her breast and kissed her stomach without consent. This conduct does not meet 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 which states: 48. You must treat colleagues with kindness, courtesy and respect. 52. You must help to create a culture that is respectful, fair, supportive, and compassionate by role modelling behaviours consistent with these values. 53. You should be aware of how your behaviours may influence others within and outside the team. 57. You must not act in a sexual way towards colleagues with the effect or purpose of causing offence, embarrassment, humiliation or distress. What we mean by acting ‘in a sexual way’ can include – but isn’t limited to – verbal or written comments, displaying or sharing images, as well as unwelcome physical contact. You must follow our more detailed guidance on Maintaining personal and professional boundaries. Whilst these failings are not so serious as to require restriction on Dr Hosur'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.
