Dr Mohammed Nazimul Hoque is alleged to have touched the woman inappropriately during a physical examination before going on ask her about her sex life, telling her to think up a "naughty name" he could call her and offering to buy holidays that they could go on together.

The misconduct allegations were laid out as a tribunal into Dr Hoque's fitness to practise got underway in Manchester.

Dr Hoque, who qualified in medicine at Liverpool University in 2014 but practises in Aberdeen, examined the woman - known only at Patient A - in 2016.

He has admitted that he declined an offer from a nurse to act as a chaperone during the examination on January 19 that year, and that he failed to maintain adequate records of the physical examination and its findings or his reasons for refusing a chaperone.

The tribunal heard that Dr Hoque is alleged to have told the patient, who is described as "vulnerable due to a mental health condition", to remove her top and bra so that he could check her heartbeat using an electrocardiogram (ECG).

He is alleged to have felt her chest and stomach without obtaining consent or explaining why it was necessary, before putting his hands down her pyjama bottoms "and under her pants".

The tribunal was told that Dr Hoque, from Tillydrone, then allegedly "touched the top of Patient A's vaginal area and when asked by patient A what you were doing you replied saying Patient A had mentioned that she hadn't had sex with her husband for weeks".

As the examination continued, Dr Hoque is alleged to have made a series of inappropriate sexual comments to the woman, including asking "whether she swallowed" and if she "would have anal sex" with him.

He is alleged to have told the woman that she was beautiful, that she "could have sex at any time on the ward", to "get two naughty outfits", to "think about a naughty name" Dr Hoque could call her and that "if she had sex with him, she could leave the hospital".

Dr Hoque is also alleged to have offered to buy holidays they could go on together and, between January 19 and February 2 2016, to have gone into Patient A's room and told her to "be ready" for him.

The tribunal continues.

Dr Hoque is one of two Scotland-based doctors currently appearing at the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal Service (MPTS) amid claims of sexual misconduct.

Dr Michael Ross, a Rosyth GP and medical education consultant, is alleged to have harassed a woman during a Christmas party at Edinburgh University. The MPTS tribunal into Dr Ross' case also began in Manchester yesterday[Mon].

It heard that Dr Ross, who graduated from Edinburgh University's medical school in 1998, attended a function at the university's Centre for Medical Education on December 16 2016.

It is alleged that, during the party, Dr Ross touched Miss A 's thigh and slid his hand "up and down" her inner thigh. The tribunal was told that Dr Ross then allegedly "stroked Miss A’s thigh under her dress".

Later, in early 2017, Dr Ross was attending the leaving party for a colleague known only as Miss B where it is alleged that he "stroked Miss A's back".

In March 2017, he is also alleged to have "stroked the inside of Miss A’s left leg up to her knee whilst saying ‘we have to look after your legs'".

His conduct is alleged to have been sexually motivated and the tribunal will consider whether his fitness to practise is impaired due to misconduct.
