The maximum period of suspension permitted by statute is 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Simawi did not dispute the Tribunal\u2019s findings of fact or misconduct, or that his fitness to practise was impaired. He simply argued that the suspension was too long. The General Medical Council had sought the sanction of Dr Simawi&#8217;s erasure from the medical register, equivalent to being struck off as a solicitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings of dishonesty related to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the creation and submission of a conference attendance application; the conference did not exist, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the misreport and amendment of a document by Dr Simawi to achieve a start date for employment convenient to him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tribunal referred to the seminal 1994 decision of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailii.org\/ew\/cases\/EWCA\/Civ\/1993\/32.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bolton v Law Society<\/a>. The main reason for imposing sanctions was to protect the public, not to punish or discipline doctors, even though sanctions may have a punitive effect. Proportionality required Dr Simawi\u2019s interests to be balanced with the public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Justice Knowles expressed initial concern that the suspension was \u2018excessive and disproportionate\u2019. Many charges were made against Dr Simawi, but few were proven. The Tribunal accepted the strong mitigation on Dr Simawi\u2019s behalf. The Judge ultimately decided that the length of the suspension was proportionate and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018Reading the Tribunal\u2019s findings as a whole, it was clearly of the view that [Dr Simawi] had further work to do in order to gain full insight into his behaviour and to remediate it, and the period of suspension had to be sufficient to allow that work to be completed and to be presented at a review hearing.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the Tribunal formed its decision by referencing its experience, and the work required by Dr Simawi would ensure that the public and the profession were fully protected. Mr Justice Knowles, therefore, dismissed Dr Simawi\u2019s appeal. He accepted that the suspension would impact the doctor\u2019s career and, to that extent, represented a punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interesting-points\">Interesting points<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Solicitors, often juniors within their firms, are usually struck off for similar misconduct to that found proved against Dr Simawi. There have been several high-profile cases on the point, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailii.org\/ew\/cases\/EWHC\/Admin\/2018\/3058.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solicitors Regulation Authority v James and Others<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solicitors must be capable of being \u2018trusted to the ends of the earth\u2019 as per Sir Thomas Bingham MR in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bailii.org\/ew\/cases\/EWCA\/Civ\/1993\/32.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bolton v Law Society<\/a>. This is a high standard\u2014a standard that dates as far back as 1993. The world of regulation in 2020 is a different, unrecognisable place. All professions have faced new challenges working under demanding conditions during the pandemic. Those circumstances will result in regulatory issues for regulators to grapple with over the two years. We now know much more about the mental health issues, often undiagnosed, arising from stress and anxiety in the workplace. This knowledge may be directly relevant to the causes of uncharacteristic misconduct leading to investigation and disciplinary proceedings by the regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost to the country of training doctors is high, and the pandemic has emphasised the need for more trained medical professionals. This explains, in part, the emphasis placed on remediation and rehabilitation in cases involving doctors. However, there is scope for increased weight to be given to the value of rehabilitation and remediation when considering sanction in cases involving other professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time has now come to review sanctions for dishonesty across professions, to reflect society\u2019s greater understanding of mental health issues, the cost of training professionals whether they work in financial services, healthcare, legal services, etc., to achieve greater consistency, and to allow for more nuanced outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading light-purple-color\" id=\"h-susan-humble-is-a-regulatory-partner-at-riaa-barker-gillette-with-an-acute-understanding-of-regulators-and-disciplinary-boards-susan-helps-professionals-to-pre-empt-regulatory-intervention-and-to-navigate-investigations-contact-susan-today\">Susan Humble is a regulatory partner at RIAA Barker Gillette with an acute understanding of regulators and disciplinary boards.
