It costs so much and is so difficult to even get into medical school, you’d have to wonder how many more are willing to pay to get a plausible but fake education certificate, and how willing a stretched NHS might be to overlook it.
It’s interesting that she worked in the field of psychiatry. I would imagine this may be the one field of medicine where someone could plausibly get away with faking their clinical competencies and qualifications.
1. Patients are often stigmatised, so perhaps they will be less likely to be believed if they raise concerns about a clinician.
2. Some patients will also lack capacity and awareness, so they are more vulnerable to be taken advantage of.
3. A ward psychiatrist may be working in isolation from other psychiatrists who would otherwise recognise deficits in competencies.
4. Diagnoses in psychiatry can often be subjective, so if other less senior practitioners or nurses are less confident in their assessment abilities, they may be less likely to challenge a psychiatrist with more senior status.
It would not surprise me if there are other ‘fake’ psychiatrists working in the UK, though I’d imagine this would be in the minority of cases. Some services may try to circumvent the rules to save money. Particularly in the private sector, which are often commissioned from NHS funds.
Does anyone remember the head of safety at the nuclear plant who had an engineering degree from a fake university? That one was really funny…

Interesting that the BBC refer to her as being “of Burnley” when she’s Iranian.
Yet when a man who’s lived in the Caribbean for the last seven years is arrested, he’s not “Nicholas Knowles of Kingston, Jamaica.”
He’s “formerly of Ashton under Lyme”.

Do they not contact references or even check certificates beyond “yeah, looks legit”?
You’d think they’d more careful when employing medical staff.
The thing is, it doesn’t say anything about the actual quality of her practice. These stories always fascinated me, because she was apparently successfully practicing for 20 years.
Obviously what she did was wrong, stupid and dangerous.
But at what point does the degree stop mattering and competence and experience takes over? (presuming for a second that she became competent). It wasn’t like she was caught after a year by her peers, and if she was newly graduated or rather pretending to be, she would still have been supervised. She got through 20 years of treating patients apparently with success and engaging with her fellow doctors with out suspicion. So at what point is she no longer faking being a doctor and actually being one in all ways except for the degree?
However if she spent that twenty years being an absolute incompetent menace than that’s different and also some of the blame lays with the NHS for letting her get away with it.
I was treated by this woman! She’s the damn reason why I never sought any help for my mental health again!!!
Hope she rots!!!!
I’m torn on this. If she was working and she did a good job, clawing back her pay seems unfair. But yet, we can’t have randoms play acting doctors.
People wonder why we have n immigration problem.
We’re a laughing stock.
