Mughees AHMAD

In or around April 2022 Dr Ahmad completed his appraisal form for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 and when required to do so, he failed to declare that: on 11 February 2022 he was made the subject of a two-week local exclusion; he had restrictions on his practice from 11 February 2022 which were still in place; and he was the subject of a local investigation into his practice. 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 and associated guidance. Good medical practice states that: To maintain your licence to practise, you must continuously engage with local clinical governance systems, including annual appraisal. This will demonstrate that you’re working in line with the principles, values and standards of care, and behaviour set out in the professional standards. 81. You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession. 89. You must make sure any information you communicate as a medical professional is accurate, not false or misleading. This means: a. you must take reasonable steps to check information is accurate. b. you must not deliberately leave out relevant information. Whilst these failings are not so serious as to require restriction on Dr Ahmad'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.
