Abdul Hakim Mohammed
Introduction
Abdul Hakim Mohammed is a paramedic who was registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) under registration number PA056369. On 17 April 2025, at the end of a substantive hearing that had begun on 14 April, a panel of the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) struck him off the register. The panel found his fitness to practise impaired after concluding that he had persistently subjected a colleague to unwanted, sexually motivated comments, pursuit and physical contact. It placed the misconduct at the higher end of the spectrum, found limited insight and no meaningful remediation, identified an ongoing risk of repetition, and directed erasure.
Background Information
The published record identifies Mohammed as a paramedic holding HCPC registration PA056369. It does not name his employer, and it does not describe his training, earlier career or personal circumstances; this page does not guess at them. MedicWatch, an independent service that aggregates publicly published decisions of UK healthcare regulators without editorialising their findings, carries his case with erasure (struck off the register) as his most recent published outcome, notes his registration status as not yet verified, and directs readers to the official HCPC register for his current position.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Civil-standard findings, not criminal convictions. Nothing in the published record points to criminal proceedings. Everything proved below was proved by a regulatory panel to the civil standard — the balance of probabilities — and the findings belong to the panel, not to a court.
The charges concerned a course of conduct towards a colleague over a two-month period. The panel heard that Mohammed directed sexual questions and propositions at her, repeatedly pursued opportunities to spend time with her, and followed her after she refused a lift from him. The physical allegations were that he initiated unwanted physical contact, lay on top of her, and touched and squeezed her bottom. Throughout, the conduct was alleged to have been sexually motivated.
The panel found the colleague’s account consistent and credible, and it was supported by messages and by another witness. On the balance of probabilities, the panel proved the sexually motivated conduct as alleged. It concluded that this repeated harassment amounted to serious misconduct at the higher end of the spectrum. At the sanction stage it found limited insight into the failings, no meaningful demonstration of remediation, and a continuing risk of repetition, and on that basis it ordered a striking-off.
The panel also recorded what counted for and against him. In mitigation were the absence of any previous regulatory findings and of any prior or subsequent complaints, and his positive engagement with the regulatory process. In aggravation were that the sexual misconduct was deliberate and repeated over the two-month period, that he showed only limited remorse, regret or apology, that the failings had not been meaningfully remediated, and his limited insight.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The published record contains no press coverage of the case beyond MedicWatch’s own reports, and no public statements from Mohammed, his colleague or any other party; on wider public reaction, the record is silent. The concrete consequences came from the tribunal process itself. Having proved the sexually motivated conduct, the panel weighed his clean regulatory history and positive engagement against the deliberate, repeated nature of the harassment, the limited remorse and the absent remediation. It concluded that the misconduct fell at the higher end of the spectrum, that his fitness to practise was impaired, and that the risk of repetition was ongoing, and it directed that his name be removed from the register.
Current Status
Mohammed was struck off the HCPC register by the panel’s decision of 17 April 2025. An erasure of this kind directs removal from the register; the published record notes that the decision explains when the direction takes effect and what appeal provisions apply, and it directs readers to the official HCPC register for his current registration status. His MedicWatch profile records erasure (struck off the register) as his most recent published outcome and notes his registration status as not yet verified, including whether any appeal was pursued. The published record does not note any interim order having been made in the case.
Impact on Their Career/Life
The striking-off ended Mohammed’s registration with the HCPC and with it his ability to work as a paramedic in the UK unless a future restoration application succeeds. The case turns on conduct directed at a colleague rather than at patients: the panel’s concern was the sexually motivated pursuit and harassment of a co-worker, sustained over two months and proved on her consistent account, supported by messages and another witness. What drove the sanction was the panel’s assessment of limited insight, no meaningful remediation and an ongoing risk of repetition, set against mitigation that it plainly found insufficient. The record contains no information about his circumstances since the decision.
