Decision date: 17 April 2025 · Hearing started 14 April 2025 and ended 17 April 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel struck paramedic Abdul Hakim Mohammed off after finding that he persistently subjected a colleague to unwanted, sexually motivated comments, pursuit and physical contact. The panel placed the misconduct at the higher end of the spectrum and found limited insight, no meaningful remediation and an ongoing risk of repetition.
Charges
Mr Mohammed directed sexual questions and propositions at a colleague, repeatedly pursued opportunities to spend time with her, followed her after she refused a lift, initiated unwanted physical contact, lay on top of her and touched and squeezed her bottom. The conduct was alleged to be sexually motivated.
Findings
The panel found the colleague's consistent account supported by messages and another witness and proved the sexually motivated conduct. It concluded that the repeated harassment was serious misconduct at the higher end of the spectrum, with limited insight, no meaningful remediation and a continuing risk of repetition. It ordered striking off.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Mitigating factors
No previous regulatory findings and no prior or subsequent complaints; positive engagement with the regulatory process.
Aggravating factors
The sexual misconduct was deliberate and repeated over a two-month period; only limited remorse, regret or apology; no meaningful demonstration that the failings had been remediated; limited insight into the failings.
