A senior doctor who left a patient on an operating table in the middle of surgery to have sex with a nurse in an adjoining theatre has been cleared to resume his medical career.
Consultant anaesthetist Suhail Anjum, 44, was discovered 'in a compromising position' with another nurse at Tameside General Hospital in 2023.
The father-of-three was seen tying up the cord of his trousers, while his colleague had her underwear on display when the pair were surprised by another nurse.
A disciplinary panel has now found that Dr Anjum's 'deplorable' actions amounted to serious misconduct, but concluded that as there was a 'very low risk' of them being repeated.
Today it ruled that a written warning should remain on the doctor's registration for two years, saying his fitness to practise medicine was not impaired.
