"The tribunal heard that on November 14 2023, Dr Mia, who qualified in South Africa in 1999, was in consultation with a patient at the central London clinic when four CQC inspectors arrived and introduced themselves. A short while later, Dr Mia was observed heading to the lifts with a suitcase. The tribunal heard an inspector "intercepted" Dr Mia, telling him the reason for the visit was "to establish if regulated activities were taking place at the clinic", after receiving complaints from members of the public."
"When asked for his name, Dr Mia told the inspector it was "Ahmed Munda". Dr Mia was said to be pressing the lift buttons "numerous times" and "appeared nervous and eager to leave" during the conversation. He told the inspector he was having a meeting about a procedure, and claimed he was a patient. The tribunal was told a young man waiting outside the consultation room interrupted and said: "He's not a patient, he's a doctor I've come to see.""
A Harley Street plastic surgeon carried out liposuction and male breast reduction without required Care Quality Commission registration and provided false details to inspectors. On November 14, 2023, four CQC inspectors visited a central London clinic and observed the surgeon attempting to leave with a suitcase. The surgeon gave a false name and claimed to be a patient, later saying he was a scientist and had only worked there that day. Investigators later identified him via open-source research and contacted him. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service suspended the surgeon for 12 months.
