Concerning Aparna Srivastava, dietitian (Health and Care Professions Council DT07126).
Decision date: 13 August 2025 · Hearing started 13 August 2025
In plain English
The HCPTS panel reviewed dietitian Aparna Srivastava's conditions of practice arising from serious record-keeping and clinical-reasoning failings. It found no evidence of remediation and concluded that returning without further training would put service users at risk. Because further conditions were not workable, the panel imposed a six-month suspension.
Charges
The original case concerned repeated poor record keeping and clinical reasoning, unsupported recommendations to many service users, and clinically unjustified health claims made while Ms Srivastava worked as a locum dietitian.
Findings
The reviewing panel found no evidence that Ms Srivastava had taken steps to remediate the concerns and concluded that her fitness to practise remained impaired. Conditions were no longer workable because she was not committed to returning to practice. A six-month suspension was the least restrictive protective outcome and allowed further engagement or consideration of voluntary removal.
