Surrey Heath doctor to appear before medical practitioners tribunal

A Surrey Heath doctor is set to face misconduct questions later this month.

Dr Gungor Kucuk, is due to appear before the medical practitioners tribunal on Monday March 27 to face allegations relating to 13 patients over an eight-month period.

According to the pre-tribunal publication,  Dr Kucuk will answer allegations that he dishonestly completed “Medical Declaration Forms’ between July 30, 2018, and April 8, 2019.

The tribunal, at St James’s Buildings, Oxford Street, in Manchester, will hear matters into the allegations that he filled forms to “suggest that he had accessed the full medical records for each patient when he did not do so”.

Dr Kucuk, who first registered as a doctor in 2006 after graduating medical school in Turkey, is also alleged to have provided statements on the forms in an attempt to disguise that he had not accessed the full medical records when asked to confirm how he had assessed the 13 patients

The listed matters against Dr Kucuk, whose designated body is listed as the North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, may be amended as the nine-day hearing proceeds. 

This, the tribunal says, is to do with when findings of fact are made. 

A decision will then be published within 28 days of its conclusion, currently listed for April 6.
