Decision date: 14 August 2026 · Hearing started 14 August 2026
In plain English
The GDC tribunal decided that Ali Mohammad Souhani's fitness to practise remained impaired and directed an indefinite suspension. At a review on 14 August 2026, it found no evidence that previous clinical and integrity concerns had been addressed. It noted continued non-engagement and found another fixed suspension would serve no purpose. The direction takes effect subject to the existing order's expiry, service and appeal provisions.

Findings
The committee found continuing impairment on public-protection and public-interest grounds. It had no evidence of insight or remediation and noted non-engagement since August 2023. It directed indefinite suspension, subject to the existing order's expiry, service and appeal provisions.
