Doctor loses his legal battle over bust-up at QMC

TRIBUNAL RULES ON ROW WITH FELLOW MEDIC

- By JOSHUA HARTLEY

A DOCTOR who claimed he had been discriminated against after a heated row with another NHS medic has lost his case.

Sagheer Hanif became embroiled in the row over how his nephew was being treated at the Queen’s Medical Centre in early March 2022, which later had damaging consequences for his job as a trainee medical practitioner in the North West.

The QMC doctor with whom he argued later alleged she had been threatened by Dr Hanif, who was placed on restricted duties for several months while the incident was investigated by the police and his employer, St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, according to an employment tribunal he later brought against his employer.
