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.
From
04 Feb 2025
to
04 Feb 2026
“On three occasions in or around January 2024 Dr Ihekuna neglected her children, who were vulnerable due to their ages of 4, 5 and 8, by leaving them alone in their home between the approximate hours of 23:00 and 06:00 while she went to work. 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, paragraph 81 of Good medical practice is particularly relevant:
You must make sure that your conduct justifies patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in your profession.
Whilst this failing 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 medical register in line with our publication and disclosure policy, which can be found at www.gmc-uk.org/disclosurepolicy “
