Tribunal set for late September
A doctor who practised in Oxford is due to face a month-long professional misconduct hearing later this month which could result in her being removed from the UK medical register.
The General Medical Council (GMC) has scheduled a tribunal for Dr Nupur Mittal, who qualified from Jammu University in India in 2004 and was first fully registered in the UK in 2007. The hearing will open on 28 September and is listed to run until 23 October.
Allegations cover conduct between 2021 and 2023
The charges to be considered by the panel relate to events said to have occurred in Oxford between July 2021 and September 2023. The GMC says the tribunal will examine allegations that Dr Mittal breached conditions imposed on her registration by a Performers List Panel during that period.
It is further alleged that in 2022 Dr Mittal was dishonest to her employer regarding a prescribing condition on her registration, and in 2023 she was dishonest in a Disclosure and Barring Service declaration and in a statement to an Interim Orders Tribunal.
"The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that, during the period July 2021 to September 2023, Dr Mittal breached conditions imposed on her registration by a Performers List Panel. It is further alleged that, in 2022, Dr Mittal was dishonest to her employer about a prescribing condition imposed on her registration and, in 2023, was dishonest in a Disclosure and Barring Service declaration and in a statement made to an Interim Orders Tribunal."
Current status and regulatory history
Dr Mittal is currently suspended from practice while the allegations are considered. If the panel finds the charges proven the outcome could include removal from the register, which would prevent her from practising medicine in the UK.
GMC records show Dr Mittal has previously agreed to voluntary, legally binding undertakings on her registration on multiple occasions. Those undertakings, recorded between February 2016 and December 2018, largely concerned the sharing of information—such as notifying the council of any post accepted and obtaining approval from an adviser before taking a post. Undertakings are used by the regulator to restrict or change a doctor’s practice without resorting to a full tribunal.
What this means locally
For patients and practices in Oxford the hearing will be closely watched. A suspension and potential erasure from the register can disrupt continuity of care for patients who had appointments or ongoing treatment with an affected clinician, and it can increase pressure on already stretched local services as work is redistributed.
Local clinical commissioning and practice managers typically make arrangements to ensure patient safety and access to care while regulatory processes are under way. However, the GMC process is independent and focused on whether a doctor’s fitness to practise is impaired, often balancing public protection with procedural fairness to the registrant.
