DO suspended for sending misleading email

Sherinjit Mahal has been suspended for three months

Leicester-based dispensing optician Sherinjit Mahal has been suspended from the General Optical Council’s register for three months after a fitness to practise hearing.

A committee found Mahal’s fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct in relation to an email sent to the GOC in March 2022.
