Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service determination — review hearing
Practising with restrictions — 1 year
The regulator’s term: conditions on practice
What does “practising with restrictions” mean?
Conditions of practice allow the practitioner to keep working but only subject to specific restrictions — for example, supervision, limits on certain procedures, or required reporting to the regulator.
Concerning Pradip Patel, doctor (General Medical Council 6122660).
Decision date: 3 March 2026 · Hearing started 3 March 2026
In plain English
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Pradip Patel's fitness to practise remained impaired by reason of his earlier misconduct, on a review of his case carried out on the papers by a Legally Qualified Chair. It directed conditions on his registration for 12 months, including direct clinical supervision and notification requirements. The hearing was held in private and the published Record of Determinations is an abridged version.
Charges
This was a review on the papers of a previous finding of impairment by reason of misconduct. The Legally Qualified Chair determined to hear the whole of the hearing in private and the published Record of Determinations is an abridged version, so the substantive content of the original allegations is not in the public record.
Findings
The Legally Qualified Chair found Dr Patel's fitness to practise impaired by reason of his misconduct on review and determined to impose conditions on his registration for a period of 12 months. The published version of the determination is abridged and the underlying findings are not in the public record.
