Inquiry told medic failed to take advice

A young doctor’s clinical performance was “deficient” and he failed to take advice or show improvement, a disciplinary inquiry heard yesterday.

Colleagues at another hospital were so concerned the doctor posed a threat to patient safety that he was placed on leave just two months into his placement.

Dr Omar Hassan Khalafalla Mohamed, whose medical registration is currently suspended, is before the inquiry taking place at the Medical Council headquarters in Dublin 2.
