Suspended from practice· 9 months
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr John Akumabor's fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct. The tribunal found that he continued to work as a GP at Sudbury Surgery between May and September 2024 after the GMC had withdrawn his licence to practise, receiving about £20,000 in pay, and that his actions were dishonest. He admitted the allegation in full. The tribunal ordered a nine-month suspension with a review hearing, and imposed an immediate order so the suspension takes effect at once.
