Concerning Sonali Mukherjee-Bose, doctor (General Medical Council 4072658).
Decision date: 6 February 2026 · Hearing started 6 February 2026
In plain English
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Sonali Mukherjee-Bose's fitness to practise was no longer impaired. A 2025 tribunal had previously found that in October 2021 she dishonestly asked a junior colleague to help create false COVID-19 vaccination certificates and suspended her registration for 12 months. At this review hearing on 6 February 2026 the tribunal found she had now accepted her dishonesty, completed a remedial ethics course and demonstrated genuine insight and remediation. The 12-month suspension will run its full course before her registration is restored.
Charges
Review hearing of misconduct previously found proved by the 2025 Tribunal. The 2025 Tribunal had found that between 4 and 6 October 2021 Dr Mukherjee-Bose approached Mr A, a junior colleague at the Barlby Surgery, and asked him to assist her in creating false COVID-19 vaccination certificates on the Pinnacle vaccine software platform for individuals who had not received COVID-19 vaccination or had not received it in the UK, telling him there would be good remuneration. Her conduct was found dishonest, intended to encourage Mr A to engage in conduct that would have been dishonest, and was found to amount to serious misconduct. The 2025 Tribunal suspended her registration for 12 months and directed a review.
Findings
The Tribunal found that Dr Mukherjee-Bose's fitness to practise was no longer impaired by reason of her misconduct. It was satisfied that she had now fully accepted the findings of the 2025 Tribunal and acknowledged her dishonesty, having previously contested it. Her detailed reflective statement, completion of a one-day remedial ethics course with Dr P, ongoing CPD, and engagement with mentoring demonstrated genuine, meaningful insight and remediation. The risk of repetition was found to be low and the risk to public protection materially reduced. The Tribunal concluded the 12-month suspension imposed by the 2025 Tribunal should run its full course to maintain public confidence and uphold professional standards.
