A NORTH-EAST doctor accused of misconduct must notify the General Medical Council (GMC) of any intention to work, it was ruled yesterday.
Conditions have been placed in the registration of Dr Usha Shyam Narendra Singh, of Pelham Court, Kingston Park Estate, Newcastle, by the GMC's interims order committee.
The case against Dr Singh, alleging misconduct, was held in private and no details of any allegations were disclosed.
Her registration was made subject to conditions until May 29, 2003, and is not a finding of guilt, but a means to protect the public while disciplinary proceedings are being considered.
She must only undertake general practice in a recognised training practice.
Before undertaking any employment requiring registration with the GMC, she must notify the Fitness to Practise Directorate of the council of the arrangement she has made.
She must not undertake any out of hours or deputising work and must notify all employers of the matters which have been referred for inquiry by the GMC's professional conduct committee.
