"GROSS BREACH OF TRUST", "DANGER TO THE PUBLIC" MUSLIM DOCTOR SERVING 30 MONTHS FOR TURNING A PART OF HOSPITAL WARD INTO SECRET PORN STUDIO BANNED FROM PRACTICING MEDICINE (UK)

Dr Suheil Ahmed from Cardiff has been thrown out of the profession after 110 images of patients were found on his mobile phone



A doctor who turned part of a hospital ward into his own secret pornography studio has been thrown out of the profession.



Dr Suheil Ahmed, 28, took over 100 snaps of women while he carried out intimate examinations at Torbay Hospital, Devon.



The trainee surgeon sectioned off their beds from the rest of the ward and touched his victims as he removed their clothing to get a better view of their bodies for his camera.



During the intimate checks he told his victims, who were in their 20s, he was using his mobile phone to time their breathing or heart rate.



He also installed a secret camera in a house owned by his family to film students using the toilet.



Ahmed was suspended by Torbay Hospital after two women complained about their examinations, sparking a probe into his conduct.



A police investigation found 110 images of patients uploaded to his home personal computer along with footage from a secret camera installed in a property belonging to his family.



He initially denied any wrongdoing, claiming he had taken the pictures for his medical portfolio.



But Ahmed, of Cyncoed Road, Cardiff, admitted 11 counts of voyeurism and two counts of sexual assault by touching when he appeared at Exeter Crown Court.



He was jailed for 18 months last October - later increased to 30 months after the Court of Appeal found the sentence was 'unduly lenient'.



The doctor was facing fitness to practise proceedings at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester this week where he was branded an 'on-going risk to patients.'



Neil Usher, for the General Medical Council, told the panel that Dr Ahmed's crimes constituted a 'gross breach of trust' and said the medic remained a 'danger to the public'.



The MPTS panel, chaired by Mr Jetinder Shergill, found his actions were so serious that the only appropriate sanction was to impose a lifetime ban from the profession.
