Suspended from practice — 3 months
The regulator’s term: suspension
What does “suspended from practice” mean?
A suspension is a fixed-term pause on the right to practise. The practitioner cannot work in the regulated profession during the suspension. At the end of the period the suspension may be extended, replaced with another sanction, or lifted on review.
Concerning Haroon Mohammed Bin Manir, dentist (General Dental Council 258226).
Decision date: 9 April 2026 · Hearing started 9 April 2026
In plain English
The GDC tribunal decided that Mr Manir's suspension from the dentist register would be extended for a further 3 months, with a review before the order expires. The Committee was reviewing a 3-month suspension first imposed in January 2026 for failing to maintain a correct address with the GDC over four years and not providing patient records or indemnity details. The Committee found his engagement still fell short of what was required.
Charges
This was a review of a substantive suspension order imposed by the Professional Conduct Committee in January 2026. The original case found proved that Mr Manir had inaccurately confirmed his current postal address to the GDC on 8 November 2023, that he had failed to maintain a correct and up-to-date address with the GDC for approximately four years from January 2021 to December 2024, and that this conduct was misleading. It also found that he had failed to provide the GDC with patient records for three patients and with details of his working arrangements and indemnity insurance.
Findings
The Committee found Mr Manir's fitness to practise remained impaired by reason of misconduct on both public protection and public interest grounds. While Mr Manir attended the hearing and provided reflective material and CPD evidence, the Committee considered the evidence insufficient to conclude that a repeat was unlikely. It noted that his GDC-registered address was a closed practice and his email inbox had been full, meaning he had again failed to receive correspondence in a timely manner.
