Suspended from practice· 1 month(period elapsed)
The GDC tribunal decided to suspend Ishaq Arif Mahmood, a dentist, for 28 days. The Professional Conduct Committee found that Mr Mahmood had amended Patient A's clinical records retrospectively without indicating they had been changed, and that this conduct was misleading and dishonest. The Committee found that while he had also failed to discuss all the risks of the orthodontic treatment, this did not reach the level of misconduct. His fitness to practise was found impaired on public interest grounds, and a 28-day suspension was imposed to uphold professional standards.
