This event has no direct impact on financial markets. It is a localized incident of medical misconduct that affects the reputation of Suhail Anjum and, to a lesser extent, Tameside Hospital.
Suhail Anjum, a consultant anaesthetist, engaged in sexual activity with a nurse, referred to as Nurse C, in an operating theatre at Tameside Hospital on September 16, 2013, while a patient was under anaesthetic. He left the patient unattended for approximately eight minutes during the procedure. Another nurse, Nurse NT, discovered Suhail Anjum and Nurse C in a compromising position and reported the incident. Suhail Anjum has admitted to the sexual activity and acknowledged that his actions had the potential to put the patient at risk, though no harm came to the patient. He left Tameside Hospital in February 2024 and moved to Pakistan, but now seeks to resume his career in the United Kingdom. A medical tribunal by the United Kingdom — General Medical Council is ongoing to determine if his fitness to practice is impaired due to misconduct. Suhail Anjum attributed his actions to a stressful period in his personal life following the premature birth of his daughter.
