A former doctor struck off for sexually motivated misconduct has been hired as a senior manager at a major GP group — sparking outrage and concern. Sudheer Shabir, found guilty of touching a patient’s breasts in 2019, lost his license in 2023 after failing to overturn the tribunal’s ruling. Yet he now chairs internal misconduct hearings at Pennine GP Alliance, which oversees 19 NHS-funded practices. Staff were unaware of his history until recently, raising alarms — especially among female employees. The group’s support for White Ribbon UK, a violence-prevention charity, adds irony to the situation. While they claim to follow strict recruitment and safeguarding protocols, critics demand accountability and transparency.
