A senior gynaecologist, Dr. Ali Shokouh-Amiri, has come under intense scrutiny after facing more than 100 allegations of inappropriate behaviour, including 24 proven instances of misconduct. Despite the serious nature of these claims, Dr. Shokouh-Amiri continues to practise as a consultant gynaecologist within the National Health Service (NHS).

The allegations, which span several years, include hugging patients and conducting intimate medical examinations without a chaperone present—actions that violate established medical protocols intended to protect patient dignity and safety.

More disturbingly, reports have surfaced that Dr. Shokouh-Amiri removed the ovaries of two female patients without their consent, raising grave ethical and legal concerns. Such procedures, performed without explicit patient authorisation, breach both medical ethics and NHS consent policies, prompting outrage among patient advocates and medical professionals alike.

Despite these revelations, Dr. Shokouh-Amiri remains on the medical register, continuing to work at an NHS trust. Critics argue that this case highlights serious failures in accountability within the healthcare system, questioning how a practitioner with a history of substantiated misconduct can continue treating patients.

The General Medical Council (GMC) and the NHS are under increasing pressure to review the doctor’s licence and reassess internal procedures that allowed him to remain in practice. Patient safety groups have called for a thorough independent investigation to ensure transparency and restore public trust in the system.

This troubling case reignites the debate over disciplinary standards in healthcare, the rights of patients, and the urgent need for reforms to prevent similar incidents in the future.
