The consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist was given a warning by an interim hearing of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service after accusations from six Guernsey patients against him arising from when he worked with the Medical Specialist Group between 2016 and 2019.
Among the findings of the investigation was that he had removed two women’s ovaries without consent, repeatedly failed to have a chaperone when with patients for intimate checks, and upheld complaints of inappropriate touching, and failing to organise appropriate medical follow-ups.
The MPTS hearing issued him with a warning, which led to the GMC issuing an appeal. This was upheld by the High Court earlier this year and a fresh tribunal was ordered.
Until then, interim conditions have been imposed on the doctor’s practice. ‘We sought temporary restrictions on Dr Shokouh-Amiri’s practice while awaiting a full tribunal to decide if his fitness to practise is impaired,’ said a GMC spokesman.
‘We will always take action where concerns suggest patient safety or the public’s confidence in doctors may be at risk.’
