A medical tribunal examined allegations against consultant anaesthetist Dr Suhail Anjum from Tameside Hospital in Greater Manchester. The doctor left his patient under general anaesthesia mid-operation to pursue sexual conduct with a healthcare worker. Dr Anjum requested a brief break from the surgical procedure and assigned patient monitoring duties to another medical professional. He then proceeded to an adjacent operating room where he engaged in intimate acts with a nurse identified as Nurse C. Another hospital employee discovered the pair and filed a formal complaint with hospital administrators.
The General Medical Council prosecutor, Andrew Molloy, confirmed that the patient maintained stable vital signs during the physician's unauthorized absence. The surgical team successfully completed the operation without medical complications or adverse events. Dr Anjum acknowledged his professional misconduct before the tribunal and expressed genuine remorse for his actions. He attributed the incident to significant personal pressures he faced during that time period. The doctor requested an opportunity to make amends for his behaviour.
