UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Croydon Doctor Suspended for Lying to Join Life-Saving Course. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 8th, a coident doctor named Marita, Alagar Atnam, just got hit with a 12-month suspension from practicing medicine after a tribunal nailed. Her for straight-up lying to join a crucial life-saving course. She faked her workplace details to snag a spot on the advanced life-support program back in spring 2021, but bombed every test and got. Did not have passed despite begging for leniency. Digging deeper, this all kicked off when she needed the course to wrap up her second foundation year at Corden Health Services. A month before applying, she got a rough supervisor report she called, Damning, and later tried to bury it by asking to revert it to draft, which wiped. It from the system with no trace. The fallout was real. Supervisors flagged her lies right away on June 8th, 2021, after the course director spilled the beans. She even told her review panel she passed. Then backpedaled, saying it was up in the air, all while dodging accountability. Fast forward to last month, the medical practitioner's tribunal service
ruled its sustained dishonesty over multiple moves, not just a one-off slip. She skipped the hearing over personal issues, but emailed admitting no good reason for the lies, though she denied messing with records directly. This suspension bars her from work for a full year, and she'll need to prove she fixed her ways to get back in. It underscores how trust and integrity keep patients safe in medicine. No shortcuts allowed.
