GP which plotted to sell false vaccination certificates cocovated for patients who had not had JAB are prohibited for 12 months

A general practitioner who tried to draw his colleagues in a program aimed at providing false cocvid vaccination certificates has been suspended for one year by a health care dog.

Dr. Sonali Mukherjee-Bose, 54, promised a junior colleague more money for a “a few hours” work that he would not do in a month if she accepted his program in October 2021.

“This is an excellent opportunity,” she said to the doctor in an email of Barlby surgery in western London. “Can we speak tonight?” I have a lot of waiting.

She told him that he would receive a “good remuneration” and asked him if he could persuade another colleague to get involved.

But the junior medication reported the messages to his manager who tips the investigators from the General Medical Council.

Dr. Mukherjee-Bose declared to the service of the doctors’ court that it had been forced to produce certificates for a private Russian patient and two others living in the Middle East.

She said that she was in a “state of sorrow and despair” after the death of a loved one and believed that her customers had already been vaccinated.

But the chair of the Zia Nabi court criticized her plan as “dishonest and deplorable” when he prohibited him from practicing for professional driving.

“These actions if they were taken in terms of completion would have been fundamentally compromised to the integrity of the vaccination program in place at the time with a clear risk for public health and security,” he told him .

The panel learned that the doctor, who also worked at Zen Healthcare planned to create false vaccination certificates on the secure clinical platform that stores the vaccination data for the NHS, known as Pinnacle.

The denunciation, identified as Mr. A, told the panel that she had asked him to withdraw from the JAB Pfizer certificates and asked him if he knew the number of the pfizer vaccine lots.

“It’s easy work, there is no risk and good reunulation,” she sent him a message.

“You would probably do the same way as your salary for a few hours of work per month. Better to speak to our own time. I have surgery tomorrow but it is better to speak tonight.

She resigned from surgery and Zen Healthcare in October 2022 when the investigation began and said that it had been “pressed” to produce the false documentation.

Investigators discovered that she had deleted the texts to Mr. A and claimed that they had been lost when she “restarted her phone” to cover what she had done.

She admitted that the messages were “ morally erroneous ” but initially denied deleting them, saying that she had lost many of her messages when she had to restart her phone.

Mukherjee-Bose told investigators that she shouldn’t have been so stupid and naive “, and that she did not know why she had said that her colleague could earn the same thing as her salary for a few hours of work by months, given that there were only two patients.

For the GMC, Mr. Ryan O’Donohue said: “The actions of Dr. Mukherjee-Bose had the potential to present a risk for patients.

Defense lawyer Leanne Woods said the doctor thought that certificates were intended for people who had already been vaccinated abroad.

“While Dr. Mukherjee-Bose accepts that she should have managed things in a different way, her position remains that she was not dishonest and did not use the word” false “in relation to creation Vaccine status, ”added Woods.

“Dr. Mukherjee-Bose did not go in search of what happened in October 2021, did not orchestrated this but responded to individuals in circumstances where she accepts that she should not have do it. “In the end, nothing has happened: no money has been exchanged, no certificate was created and no evil was done in the public health system.”

Dr. Mukherjee-Bose said that she was “really full of remorse” and that “never allowed me to go wild”.

“I deeply regret that my actions caused this investigation,” she said in a statement.

“I allowed myself to be attracted to others at a time when I was in the depths of sorrow and despair.

“At no time is it intentionally intended to act in an ethics or illegally. Despite this, I did not recognize the inappropriate nature of the requests that I received and I did not ask for clarification or support of colleagues when I should have.

But Nabi said that she probably knew that her customers had not been vaccinated.

“His dishonest conduct would be considered blatant and deplorable by ordinary decent people and other members of the profession,” he added.
