Concerning Gaurav Madahar, dentist (General Dental Council 265514).
Decision date: 4 September 2026 · Hearing started 4 September 2026
In plain English
At a review on 4 September 2026, the GDC Professional Conduct Committee found that Gaurav Madahar's fitness to practise was no longer impaired by his conviction or misconduct and ended his suspension immediately. The earlier case concerned drink driving and a dishonest failure to report the charge promptly to the GDC. The review Committee accepted evidence of significant reflection and remediation and considered the risk of repeating the dishonest conduct minimal.
Charges
This was a review of the nine-month suspension imposed in December 2025 following a drink-driving conviction and findings that Mr Madahar dishonestly failed to notify the GDC immediately that he had been charged.
Findings
The GDC Professional Conduct Committee found that the seriousness of the conviction and its wider public-interest implications had been sufficiently marked by the suspension and driving disqualification. It accepted significant reflection, targeted professional development and an action plan as evidence of remediation of the dishonest failure to report. It found that fitness to practise was no longer impaired by either conviction or misconduct and terminated the substantive suspension immediately.
