Concerning Imran Khan, chiropodist / podiatrist (Health and Care Professions Council CH34297).
Decision date: 13 September 2024 · Hearing started 13 September 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that podiatrist Imran Khan had sufficiently addressed earlier driving and dishonesty findings, but had not shown that he had remedied inadequate record-keeping. It found that his fitness to practise remained impaired and that unrestricted practice still posed a risk. The panel extended his suspension for four months so he could provide evidence of remediation.
Charges
The proved allegations concerned Imran Khan driving despite saying he was not driving, inadequate records for 14 patients, telling colleagues he was a doctor when he was not, and dishonesty. The substantive panel found misconduct, lack of competence and impaired fitness to practise.
Findings
The review panel found sufficient remediation of the driving and dishonesty matters, with a low risk of repetition, but insufficient evidence that Mr Khan had remedied his record-keeping failings. It found continuing impairment on the personal and public components and extended his suspension for four months.
