The Fitness to Practise Panel will meet at St James’s Buildings, 79 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 6FQ to consider a new case of impairment by reason of misconduct.

Name: Dr Olamide OREKUNRIN
GMC Reference Number: 7013906

Area of practice: Birmingham and Nigeria

The Panel will inquire into the allegation that whilst Dr Orekunrin held the position of Managing Director of Flying Doctors Nigeria (‘FDN’) she arranged for the referral of Patient A to Queen Elizabeth Hospital (‘QEH’) by way of long distance air transfer. It is alleged that prior to arranging the referral Dr Orekunrin failed to adequately examine or assess Patient A’s condition or ensure Patient A’s stabilization. It is also alleged that Dr Orekunrin gave incorrect details whilst arranging the transfer and that her conduct in this regard was misleading and dishonest.

It is also alleged that, in relation to Patient A, Dr Orekunrin failed to undertake trauma surveys, assess the respiratory system, circulatory system, gastro intestinal system or the patient’s burns and their management. It is also alleged that she failed to provide and manage pain relief or monitor the patient’s vital signs. It is further alleged that Dr Orekunrim failed to provide QEH with adequate information in relation to Patient A’s condition, in that she failed to provide any records or evidence of the above matters. It is also alleged that she failed to ensure adequate and appropriate provisions for the safe transfer of Patient A to QEH.

Following Patient A’s transfer to QEH it is alleged that Dr Orekunrin failed to adequately hand over Patient A’s care, provide details regarding Patient A’s medical records and provide adequate and accurate information to patient A’s family. It is further alleged that when a consultant involved in Patient A’s care requested further information by email Dr Orekunrin questioned the request, dismissed the tone of the email as irate, failed to try and obtain the information requested as she stated that she would do, and failed to treat the consultant fairly and with respect.

The above reflects the allegation as it stands at the start of the hearing. The allegation may be amended as the hearing proceeds and when findings of fact are made by the Panel. If you require up to date information regarding the allegation throughout the course of the hearing, please contact the MPTS at pressoffice@mpts-uk.org.

In accordance with Rule 41(2) of the General Medical Council (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2004, the Panel may decide to exclude the public from the proceedings or any part of the proceedings, where they consider that the circumstances of the case outweigh the public interest in holding the hearing in public.
