GP guilty of poor professional performance
The Irish Medical Council’s Fitness to Practise Committee yesterday found Dr Saleem Sharif, who runs his own practice in Ballyphehane, guilty of poor professional performance on two counts relating to his visit to the home of Barry Murphy at Peacock Row, North Monastery Road in Cork on May 17, 2009.
The IMC had investigated Dr Sharif’s conduct following a formal complaint made by the patient’s wife, Josephine Murphy over the doctor’s treatment of her husband who had a history of cardiac problems.
