A UK doctor who repeatedly asked a Muslim patient to remove her veil during a consultation and later continued working despite being suspended has been struck off the medical register.
Dr Keith Wolverson was previously suspended for nine months after being found guilty of multiple misconduct charges linked to incidents between January and May 2018 while working as a locum at urgent care centres in Derby and Stoke. One of the most serious incidents took place on 13 May 2018 at Royal Stoke University Hospital, where he asked a woman, identified as Mrs Q, to remove her niqab three times during an appointment.
