Practising with restrictions· 9 months
The GDC tribunal decided that Abu Bashar, a dentist, had failed to offer NHS composite build-ups to three patients when the treatment was clinically necessary, and had failed to obtain informed consent from one patient. The Professional Conduct Committee found his conduct was misleading but dismissed the dishonesty charge, finding he had genuinely misunderstood NHS regulations. The tribunal imposed a 9-month conditions of practice order with immediate effect, requiring workplace supervision and regular audits.
