Medical watchdog to review GP’s suspension over ‘promised’ laptop: UK
Australian doctors have waded in to condemn the GMC's action against Dr Manjula Arora who says she may have misunderstood what was said in an email
The UK medical watchdog has said it will review the suspension of a GP following a misunderstanding about a “promised” laptop, as Australian doctors add their voices to widespread outrage over the case.
As 6minutes reported last week, Manchester GP Dr Manjula Arora was suspended for one month after a medical tribunal found she had been “dishonest” when trying to secure a work laptop from her employer.
Dr Arora, who trained in India, had told the IT department at after-hours provider Mastercall Healthcare she had been “promised” a laptop.
This was based on her supervisor, also a doctor, writing in an email that he would “note your interest for when the next [laptop] rollout happens”.
