Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 16:32 · Archive
Dr Nupur Mittal has been handed a 12-month suspension by a medical tribunal for breaching conditions and dishonesty.
Dr Nupur Mittal, registered as a doctor since 2004 after qualifying from Jammu University in India, has been suspended from medical practice for 12 months following a tribunal hearing held between 28 September and 13 October. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service found her guilty of demonstrating a 'pattern of dishonesty' and breaching conditions on her registration.
Among the proven breaches were accepting two employment posts without NHS England approval, failing to complete required appraisals and personal development plans within six months of starting clinical practice, and breaching a prescribing condition by dispensing redacted medication on 21 occasions. The tribunal also found she made dishonest statements, including an email claiming she had not been dismissed from Carrington House Surgery in High Wycombe when she had been.
The tribunal stated that Dr Mittal's actions in breaching her conditions undermined 'a system designed to protect the public and herself'. The suspension is pending an appeal period. Dr Mittal had already been suspended from practice prior to this ruling.
