Concerning Mohammed F Siddiqui, radiographer (Health and Care Professions Council RA28444).

Decision date: 6 January 2025 · Hearing started 6 January 2025

In plain English

The HCPTS panel extended radiographer Mohammed F Siddiqui's suspension for three months. With no new evidence of remediation or changed circumstances, it found that impairment and repetition risk continued. Because he had previously engaged and sought an adjournment for health reasons, the short extension allowed recovery and participation before a further review.

Charges

The original cases concerned a sexually motivated and clinically unjustified intimate scan without a chaperone, disregarding supervision and using derogatory language, delayed or unverifiable scan reports, scans performed incorrectly and clinical advice given outside Mr Siddiqui's scope that caused patients alarm and distress.

Findings

The reviewing panel received no new evidence of remediation, references or material change, although Mr Siddiqui sought an adjournment for health reasons and had engaged previously. It found continuing personal and public impairment and repetition risk. A three-month suspension protected the public while allowing him to recover and participate in another review.
