French locum doctor who botched operations at Chester hospital free to practise again

A LOCUM surgeon who botched two operations at Chester’s Grosvenor Nuffield Hospital, after flying in from France, has had his suspension lifted.

The General Medical Council suspended Deep Ramborum for two years, after determining his fitness to practise had been impaired by reason of his misconduct and deficient professional performance.

But he is free to practise without restrictions from Saturday, after the GMC concluded it was satisfied “there is no longer any risk to patients”.

In March, 2005, Mr Ramborum was practising as a locum consultant orthopaedic surgeon when he flew in from France to carry out weekend surgery at the Grosvenor Nuffield as part of a government initiative to reduce NHS waiting lists by giving work to the private sector..
