Dr. Sachin Manoraj, a doctor from West London, received a 12-month suspension due to dishonesty about his criminal record, including convictions for driving offenses. The General Medical Council determined that his actions undermined public trust. Despite his claims of ignorance regarding the need to disclose his criminal history, a tribunal found he failed to declare his investigations and convictions to both the GMC and his university. The tribunal emphasized the importance of maintaining professional standards and public confidence, necessitating immediate action against Dr. Manoraj's misconduct to uphold these values.
Dr Manoraj answered no to questions on whether he had ever been convicted by the police or a court or been subject to a police investigation.
The public would expect immediate action to be taken. Therefore, the tribunal determined that it was necessary to impose an immediate order of suspension.
