Doctor's Appeal Denied: Falsified Time Sheets Bar Return
13 Apr
Summary
- Doctor struck off in 2012 for claiming pay from multiple hospitals.
- Appeal to return to practice denied due to insufficient insight.
- Previous suspension for false travel claims and unauthorized work.
A doctor, Mohamed El Muiad, has been denied an appeal to be reinstated on the medical register following his removal in 2012. The General Medical Council (GMC) struck him off after a tribunal found he dishonestly submitted 22 timesheets for payment, claiming to work at more than one hospital concurrently between 2008 and 2009. El Muiad had accepted consultant shifts from various hospitals in West Yorkshire and Salford.
His misconduct involved committing to work at multiple locations simultaneously without informing booking agencies or NHS Trusts. This followed a previous six-month suspension in 2005 for making false travel expense claims and undertaking paid work during study leave. El Muiad admitted to a tribunal that he had previously "prioritized workload and personal gain over patient safety."
Despite El Muiad's claims of deep reflection and remediation, the tribunal rejected his appeal. They concluded that restoring him to the register would pose a potential risk to patient safety and could not ascertain that the risk of further misconduct had been adequately reduced. He had reportedly worked in Sudan between 2011 and 2023.
