Concerning Imran Khan, chiropodist / podiatrist (Health and Care Professions Council CH34297).

Decision date: 17 December 2024 · Hearing started 17 December 2024

In plain English

The HCPTS panel reviewed podiatrist Imran Khan's suspension arising from record-keeping failures and dishonest conduct. He provided no new evidence that the remaining competence concerns had been remediated, so risk to service users continued. The panel extended his suspension for six months and warned that striking off could be considered next.

Charges

The original case concerned inadequate records for 14 patients and dishonest conduct, including repeatedly driving while medically prohibited after a seizure and introducing himself as a doctor during workplace training.

Findings

The reviewing panel received no current evidence of record-keeping remediation or developed insight and found that the competence concerns and risk to service users remained. Conditions were not workable without engagement. It extended the suspension for six months, warning that the next review could consider striking off.
