  • Medical Practitioners Tribunal ServiceDoctor

    No impairment found

    Atif Zaman

    The MPTS tribunal found none of the allegations against Dr Atif Zaman proved. The General Medical Council had alleged he behaved in a threatening manner towards Ms A on several occasions between 2017 and 2021. The tribunal found inconsistencies in the supporting witness evidence and could not verify the dates of disputed photographs, an email and WhatsApp messages relied on by the GMC. On 30 January 2026 it concluded that the GMC had not discharged the burden of proof and that Dr Zaman's fitness to practise was not impaired.

  • Medical Practitioners Tribunal ServiceDoctor

    Suspended from practice

    Mark Elias

    The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Mark Elias's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of his conviction. In January 2025 he was convicted of outraging public decency after performing sexual acts in public on a train in September 2024 and was sentenced to eight weeks' imprisonment suspended for 12 months. The tribunal placed the conviction at the higher end of the spectrum of seriousness but accepted he had shown good insight and self-referred to the GMC. On 30 January 2026 it directed suspension of his registration for six months with no review, and imposed an immediate order.

    Velmurugan Kuppuswamy

    The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Velmurugan Kuppuswamy's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and directed his erasure from the Medical Register.
