A Scots doctor of 34 years has been suspended for 12 months after falsifying patients' medical records and misleading colleagues to further her medical career.
Dr Sureshini Sanders' behaviour was described as "deplorable" by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service at a hearing on February 9, amounting to "serious misconduct".
The former GP was working at West Calder Medical Practice between June 2017 and May 2018 when she trialled an ultrasound scanner on a number of patients.
The West Lothian practice agreed on the basis she would refer all patients she scanned to hospital for follow-up scans and inform them they were being scanned as part of a study.
However, of the 16 patients referred to by Dr Sanders in her report ‘Scanning in the Community 2018’, the medical records of nine patients have not been found.
She also falsely listed five patients having been referred for more detailed scanning in hospital, when only two were referred, with one additional patient.
Dr Sanders "dishonestly" amended the medical records of two patients saying they had been scanned knowing they hadn't.
And, also added the names of two co-authors to her report - known as Mr Q and Mr R - although they had no involvement in the study.
Mr Kenneth Hamer, MPTS tribunal chair, said: "Given the multiple and significant breaches of GMP and the Good practice guidance, and in particular the dishonesty found, the Tribunal was satisfied that fellow practitioners would consider Dr Sanders’ actions to be deplorable.
"Dr Sanders accepted that the Tribunal’s findings of dishonesty amount to serious and deplorable misconduct.
"The Tribunal determined that Dr Sanders’ conduct fell so far short of the standards of conduct reasonably to be expected so as to amount
