Doctor left patient for sex with nurse in operating theatre
- Dr. Suhail Anjum, a 44-year-old consultant anaesthetist, engaged in sexual activity with a nurse during a surgery at Tameside Hospital in September 2023 while the patient was under anaesthetic.
- The incident occurred when Dr. Anjum took an eight-minute break at the halfway point of a keyhole surgery, leaving the patient under an experienced nurse's care, knowing the nurse was nearby.
- A nurse unexpectedly found Dr. Anjum and Nurse C in a compromising position, promptly reported the matter to management, and an internal investigation was launched.
- Dr. Anjum acknowledged that his conduct was deeply regrettable and a singular lapse in judgment, recognizing that his actions endangered the patient and expressing remorse for disappointing the patient, himself, and the trust.
- Following the investigation, Dr. Anjum left Tameside Hospital in February 2024, returned to Pakistan, and now hopes to reset and rebuild his career in the UK while facing a misconduct hearing in Manchester.
