Erasure(struck off the register)
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Attiya Sheikh's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of her conviction. In May 2025 she was convicted of handling stolen personal protective equipment taken from NHS Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic and was sentenced to 10 months' imprisonment. The tribunal concluded the offending was premeditated, persistent and connected to her role as a doctor, and that she had shown no meaningful insight or remediation. On 10 February 2026 it directed that her name be erased from the medical register and imposed an immediate order.
