Imran Khan
Introduction
Imran Khan is a physiotherapist who was registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) under registration number PH114002. On 3 November 2025, at the end of a substantive hearing that had run from 31 October, a panel of the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) struck him off the register. The panel found proved a conviction for producing cannabis, together with a failure to disclose the charge and conviction to the regulator and a knowingly incorrect answer on his February 2024 renewal form, which it found dishonest. His fitness to practise was found currently impaired.
Background Information
The published record identifies Khan as a physiotherapist holding HCPC registration PH114002. The determination window does not name an employer or describe his training or career, and this page does not guess at them. MedicWatch, an independent record service that aggregates publicly published decisions of UK healthcare regulators without editorialising their findings, carries his case with erasure as the 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
A conviction is a fact of record; the striking-off is a regulatory consequence. The cannabis-production conviction below was recorded by a court and was found proved by the panel. The striking-off that followed is a regulatory sanction imposed by an HCPTS panel applying the civil standard to the allegation of misconduct arising from the conviction and the surrounding non-disclosure — it is not itself a criminal outcome.
The conviction at the centre of the case was for producing cannabis. The aggravating factors recorded by the panel state that the criminal offence concerned the cultivation of a classified drug to sell. The record gives the conviction date only indirectly: the panel noted that Khan had “a number of opportunities to declare the criminal matters from 3 March 2023 onwards”, placing the criminal matters no later than early 2023, while the determination does not set out the underlying court proceedings or any sentence imposed. The published determination records no mitigating factors alongside these aggravations.
The regulatory case built around that conviction concerned concealment. Khan was alleged to have failed to tell the HCPC about his charge and conviction, and to have declared incorrectly on his February 2024 renewal form that there had been no change relating to his good character. The panel found the conviction proved, found that he failed to disclose the charge and conviction, found that he knowingly gave an incorrect answer on the renewal form, and found he acted dishonestly.
On impairment and sanction, the panel found misconduct and current impairment on both the personal and public components, and found the conviction and dishonest conduct to be at risk of repetition. The aggravating factors it recorded were substantial: repeated opportunities to declare the matters going back to 3 March 2023; deliberate misleading of the regulator as to his character status at renewal, which prevented it from performing its statutory duty; and no engagement in the regulatory process, with no information of insight, remorse or remediation provided. Concluding that his conduct was fundamentally incompatible with registration, the panel ordered him struck off.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The published record contains no press coverage of the hearing and no public statements from Khan or any other party. The concrete consequence is the striking-off decision of 3 November 2025, which removes him from the HCPC register. The case’s shape drove that outcome: a conviction for producing cannabis, found proved, compounded at every stage by concealment — non-disclosure of the charge, a false renewal declaration, and, in the panel’s finding, dishonesty throughout. The panel’s noting that the regulator was prevented from performing its statutory duty marks the non-disclosure as serious in regulator terms quite apart from the conviction itself. The record discloses no appeal and no further proceedings.
Current Status
Khan was struck off the HCPC register by the panel’s decision of 3 November 2025. The published record does not note an interim order alongside the final outcome; the striking-off itself is the operative sanction recorded. His MedicWatch profile records 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, including whether any appeal was pursued.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Striking off ended Khan’s registration and his ability to work as a physiotherapist in the UK unless a future restoration application succeeds. The case illustrates the regulator’s treatment of concealment: the conviction was the trigger, but the panel’s reasoning weighted the sustained failure to declare it — from the first opportunities in March 2023 through the February 2024 renewal — as dishonest misconduct that undermined the regulatory system itself, aggravated by non-engagement and an absence of insight or remorse. Beyond the determination, the published record contains no information about his circumstances since the decision.
