- A gynaecologist who admitted removing two women’s ovaries without consent is set to face a fresh hearing following a successful High Court challenge by the General Medical Council.
- Dr Ali Shokouh-Amiri was previously found guilty of misconduct by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal in February 2025 but was given only a warning after it ruled his fitness to practise was not impaired.
- The allegations arose from his work at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey and included removing ovaries without consent, inappropriate physical contact and suggesting a patient join him at the gym.
- Mr Justice Morris ruled in favour of the GMC appeal, concluding that the tribunal made wrong or unjust decisions and displayed clear errors of fact and reasoning.
- The High Court judge provisionally ordered the case to be returned to the tribunal to re-determine five sets of allegations and whether Dr Shokouh-Amiri’s fitness to practise is impaired.
