Suspension(suspended from practice)· 6 months
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Magdalene Idu Ekpiken, a GP, failed to provide good clinical care to several patients in 2024, including not adequately assessing two patients and not keeping accurate records for three, one record stating she had carried out baby examinations she had not done. The tribunal decided this amounted to serious misconduct and that her fitness to practise was impaired, noting similar failings in 2018. It suspended her registration for six months. Allegations of dishonesty relating to two other patients were found not proved.
