The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Hamdy El-Shikh, who was convicted of drug possession in 2021 and found to have been dishonest at an appraisal meeting, remained impaired at this third review hearing. He had provided no evidence of insight, remediation, or CPD since his previous review. The tribunal imposed a further 12-month suspension and directed another review hearing, noting he had not had a full opportunity to demonstrate progress due to circumstances abroad.
