Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service determination — substantive hearing
Struck off the register
The regulator’s term: erasure
What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Mohammed Munaf, doctor (General Medical Council 7290599).
Decision date: 14 January 2026 · Hearing started 5 January 2026 and ended 14 January 2026
In plain English
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Mohammed Munaf's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct and directed his erasure from the Medical Register. The tribunal found he had repeatedly posted antisemitic, racist and sexist content on social media over a two-year period, had dishonestly issued a sick note while his licence was suspended by an interim order, and had breached his interim conditions. The tribunal found no evidence of insight or remediation.
Charges
Dr Munaf was alleged to have posted and reposted content on his X (Twitter) social media account on 36 occasions between October 2023 and July 2025 that was antisemitic, racist and sexist, and motivated by racial or religious hostility. He was also alleged to have left a locum placement without notice or good reason, to have posted on X in breach of interim orders conditions, and to have dishonestly issued a sick note while his licence to practise was suspended under an interim order.
Findings
The Tribunal found all charges proved: that Dr Munaf had repeatedly posted discriminatory and seriously offensive content on social media involving racism, antisemitism and sexism; that he left a locum placement without notice or good reason; that he breached his interim orders conditions; and that he dishonestly issued a sick note while his licence was suspended. The Tribunal found no insight or remediation and directed erasure from the Medical Register. An immediate order of suspension was imposed.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Mitigating factors
Dr Munaf's good character was noted but given extremely limited weight given that the offensive posts continued over a two-year period, including after regulatory action began and in breach of interim conditions. The behaviour on placement and the dishonest sick note were isolated incidents of those types of behaviour.
Aggravating factors
Dr Munaf failed to engage with these proceedings. He breached both his IOT conditions and IOT suspension, demonstrating a continual disregard for the regulator and its purpose. There was no evidence of any insight on his part.
