Concerning Imran Khan, physiotherapist (Health and Care Professions Council PH114002).
Decision date: 3 November 2025 · Hearing started 31 October 2025 and ended 3 November 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that physiotherapist Imran Khan was convicted of producing cannabis and acted dishonestly by failing to disclose his charge and conviction and by misleading the HCPC on a renewal form. It found his fitness to practise currently impaired and concluded that his conduct was fundamentally incompatible with registration. The panel ordered him struck off.
Charges
Mr Khan was convicted of producing cannabis. He was also alleged to have failed to tell the HCPC about his charge and conviction and to have incorrectly declared on his February 2024 renewal form that there had been no change relating to his good character. Those failures were alleged to be dishonest and to amount to misconduct.
Findings
The panel found the conviction proved. It also found that Mr Khan failed to disclose the charge and conviction, knowingly gave an incorrect answer on his renewal form, and acted dishonestly. It found misconduct and current impairment on both the personal and public components, concluding that the conviction and dishonest conduct were at risk of repetition.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Aggravating factors
The Registrant had a number of opportunities to declare the criminal matters from 3 March 2023 onwards; the criminal offence concerned the cultivation of a classified drug to sell; the Registrant deliberately misled the regulator as to his character status at renewal, preventing it from performing its statutory duty; the Registrant did not engage in the regulatory process and provided no information of insight, remorse or remediation.
