Concerning Mubarak Muhammad Mutawakkil, physiotherapist (Health and Care Professions Council PH128005).
Decision date: 23 October 2025 · Hearing started 23 October 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that physiotherapist Mubarak Muhammad Mutawakkil's fitness to practise remained impaired because he had not addressed earlier findings about his competence or provided evidence of insight or remediation. It found a significant likelihood of repetition and risk of significant harm to service users, and imposed a further 12-month suspension from 14 November 2025.
Charges
The substantive allegations concerned failures between November 2022 and February 2023 to gather sufficient information, act on red flags, perform basic examinations, recognise pathology, provide appropriate exercises and make adequate records while working as a physiotherapist.
Findings
At review, the panel found that Mr Mutawakkil had provided no evidence of remorse, insight or remediation and had not addressed the competence concerns found at the substantive hearing. It found his fitness to practise remained impaired on both the personal and public components, with a significant likelihood of repetition and risk of significant harm to service users.
