Mohammad M Rahman
Introduction
Mohammad M Rahman is a physiotherapist who was registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) under registration number PH105985. On 11 July 2025, at a review hearing, a panel of the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) replaced a conditions of practice order with a striking-off order, effective from 27 July 2025. It was the second review of those conditions. The panel found he remained impaired on personal and public grounds, had not complied with the conditions, had not sufficiently addressed earlier findings of clinical lack of competence, and was not capable of safe and effective practice.
Background Information
The published record identifies Rahman as a physiotherapist holding HCPC registration PH105985. 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 (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
Regulatory findings, not a criminal case. The findings below come from HCPTS panels applying the civil standard — the balance of probabilities. They are regulator findings, not criminal convictions, and no criminal proceedings form part of this case. The matter was dealt with throughout on a lack of competence footing and ended at a review hearing, not a contested substantive one.
The underlying allegation concerned clinical fundamentals: inadequate theoretical knowledge, clinical understanding and reasoning, discharge planning, treatment and management, evaluation of interventions, and written or verbal communication. Several sub-parts were recorded as no case to answer or not proved; the remaining matters were alleged to amount to lack of competence and impairment. Earlier panels found lack of competence and continuing impairment, and a conditions of practice order was put in place — the regulatory sanction designed to let a registrant keep working while remediating identified deficits.
The hearing of 11 July 2025 was the second review of that order, and the panel’s findings closed the door the conditions were meant to keep open. It found Rahman remained impaired on both personal and public grounds, that he had not complied with the conditions imposed on his practice, and that he had not sufficiently addressed the clinical failings the earlier panels had identified. The panel went further, finding he was not capable of safe and effective practice, and that further conditions or a further period of suspension had no merit.
On that basis the panel replaced the conditions of practice order with a striking-off order, taking effect on 27 July 2025. The published record of the review sets out no separate mitigation or aggravation factors; the outcome turned on compliance and capability — two questions the panel answered against the registrant on each count.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The published record contains no press coverage of the hearing and no public statements from Rahman or any other party. The concrete consequences are the striking-off order of 11 July 2025, effective from 27 July 2025, and the end of the conditions regime that had governed his practice until then. Erasure is the most severe sanction open to a fitness-to-practise panel, and in a competence case it is reached by a particular route: conditions are a rehabilitative sanction, offered on the premise that deficits can be remedied while under supervision. Two reviews on, the panel found the conditions unmet, the failings unaddressed, and no safe capability to practise — the premise on which the earlier leniency rested having failed.
Current Status
Rahman was struck off the HCPC register by the review panel’s order of 11 July 2025, which took effect on 27 July 2025. Until that date the conditions of practice order remained the operative restriction; the record discloses no separate interim suspension. 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. The published record discloses no appeal.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Striking off ended Rahman’s registration and his ability to work as a physiotherapist in the UK unless a future restoration application succeeds. The case illustrates the conditions-of-practice ladder in fitness-to-practise regulation: lack of competence is, in principle, remediable, and panels prefer sanctions that allow remediation. But the premise is compliance, and the record here shows what follows when it is absent — non-compliance converts remediable deficits into findings of incapability of safe practice, and the ladder ends in erasure. Beyond the determination, the published record contains no information about his circumstances since the decision.
