Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

Dr Nupur Mittal has been suspended for one year following a medical practitioners tribunal that examined allegations of breaching conditions and dishonesty.

Dr Nupur Mittal, an Oxford doctor, has been suspended from practice for one year following a medical practitioners tribunal held between 28 September and 13 October. The tribunal examined allegations covering the period from July 2021 to September 2023.

The allegations against Dr Mittal included breaching conditions imposed on her registration by a Performers List Panel during this period. The tribunal also found that in 2022 she was dishonest to her employer regarding a prescribing condition imposed on her registration, and in 2023 she was dishonest in a Disclosure and Barring Service declaration and in a statement made to an Interim Orders Tribunal.

Dr Mittal was already suspended from practice before the hearing. She was fully registered as a doctor in 2007 having initially registered in 2004 after qualifying from Jammu University in India. The General Medical Council logs show she has previously been handed multiple undertakings on her registration—voluntary, legally binding agreements restricting or changing practice. From February 2016 to December 2018, these conditions required her to notify the council of any post she accepted and to obtain approval from a council adviser before accepting a position.

The suspension is pending an appeal period. Full details of the tribunal's findings will be released within the next month.
