Medical Council urged to be "scrupulous" when examining doctor registration applications

The president of the High Court has urged the Medical Council to be "scrupulous" when examining future registration applications after a doctor registered to practise here, who was suspended in England last May for nine months for serious misconduct, allegedly gave different names and dates of birth to the authorities.

It is also alleged, when filling in the annual form to re-register here in 2017 and 2018, that Dr Karim El Awad Mohamed had not declared conditions had been attached to his UK registration pending an inquiry.
