A doctor who failed to disclose to the Irish Medical Council that he had been struck off the UK medical register for substandard performance and racist abuse has been found guilty of professional misconduct.

The IMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee said it was satisfied that an allegation that Ragheb Nouman had provided information which he knew to be untrue while filling out an online application form in February 2018 to register as a doctor in Ireland was proven beyond reasonable doubt.
