Suhail ANJUM

Dr Anjum, On 16 September 2023, whilst employed as a consultant anaesthetist you left the operating theatre knowing Nurse C was likely to be nearby. Whilst absent from the operating theatre, in the middle of an operation, you engaged in sexual activity with Nurse C in another theatre. Your actions had the potential to put Patient A at risk. 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 (2013) (‘GMP’) and associated guidance. Paragraphs 37 and 65 of the GMP which applied at the time are particularly relevant: 37 You must be aware of how your behaviour may influence others within and outside the team. 65 You must make sure that your conduct justifies your patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in the profession.’ Whilst this misconduct in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on your registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning. This Warning will be published on the List of Registered Medical Practitioners (LRMP) in line with our publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy
