    Suspension(suspended from practice)· 1 year

    The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Chikaodinaka Okolo's fitness to practise remains impaired by reason of misconduct and a police caution. This was the latest in a series of review hearings dating back to 2019, when he was first suspended after admitting dishonestly self-prescribing controlled drugs and issuing false prescriptions while working as a locum A&E doctor. The tribunal suspended his registration for a further 12 months and directed a review hearing.
