Madhra claims GMC orchestrated conspiracy against him

Under-fire urologist applies for case against him to be dismissed

Last week the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service hearing which is considering banning Kavinder Madhra from ever working again as a doctor was adjourned. Again.

Before the hearing was adjourned the panel heard an application from the doctor for the GMC's case against him to be rejected.

Documents seen by The Mail state: "Mr Madhra submitted that the assessors did not use all the instruments of assessment as mandated by the GMC.

"Mr Madhra submitted that multiple errors occurred during the preparation of the assessment report.

"Mr Madhra submitted the assessors had not been able to cite a single case where ‘actual harm’ had happened to any of his patients due to his actions but that the assessment report was full of speculation, citing the possibility of imaginary potential harms and pure scaremongering.

"Mr Madhra submitted that if any conditions were put on his registration it would amount to erasure from the register, as he would not be able to secure any employment ever again."

However, after hearing submissions from the GMC, the panel found that there was a case to answer and rejected the application.
