Blackpool Victoria Hospital doctor faces tribunal hearing amid allegations over dishonesty
The hearing takes place between August 24 and September 11
A doctor will face a tribunal panel following allegations over dishonesty in a job application.
An assessment into respiratory consultant Dr Surrayya Najeeb’s role as a registrar also found areas of her practice were unacceptable, according to General Medical Council documents.
She faces the MPTS hearing after a case was brought by the GMC.
In October 2022 whilst working at Blackpool Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Najeeb was moved to a registrar role following ‘concerns about her ability to function at consultant level.’
The GMC alleges that between November and December 2022, Dr Najeeb made an application and was interviewed for a Locum Consultant role in King’s Lynn at Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust where she ‘was dishonest in relation to the concerns raised and the change in her role in Blackpool.’
It is further alleged that, in August 2024, Dr Najeeb underwent a GMC Performance Assessment which identified areas of her practice which were unacceptable and/or a cause for concern.

The MPTS lists the type of case under misconduct and performance.
It states: “The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that, in or around October 2022, whilst working at Blackpool Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Najeeb was moved to a Registrar role, following concerns about her ability to function at Consultant level.
“It is further alleged that between November 2022 and December 2022, Dr Najeeb made an application and was interviewed for a Locum Consultant role at Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust and was dishonest in relation to the concerns raised and the change in her role at Blackpool.
“It is further alleged that, in August 2024, Dr Najeeb underwent a GMC Performance Assessment which identified areas of her practice which were unacceptable and/or a cause for concern.”
The tribunal comes as two top consultants at Blackpool Victoria Hospital were struck off the medical register meaning they are prohibited from practising as doctors in the UK.
Consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Amal Krishna Bose was struck off after a jury found him guilty on June 19 2025 of 12 counts of sexual assault of colleagues between August 2017 and December 2022. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) found his conviction rendered him ‘fundamentally incompatible’ with continued registration.
Also struck off was former Blackpool Victoria consultant Aloaye Foy-Yamah, who initially only had his licence suspended for 12 months in March 2025 by an independent panel even after a tribunal found he had raped a woman. The case was investigated by Lancashire Police but no criminal charges were made. He was struck off following an appeal.
