Former doctor serving jail sentence for manslaughter of patient struck off UK medical register

Isyaka Mamman has now been struck off the UK medical register

A former doctor from Oldham who was jailed for the manslaughter of one of his patients has been struck off the UK medical register.

Isyaka Mamman, of Royton, was jailed last year for three years after pleading guilty, at an earlier hearing, to the manslaughter of 48-year-old Shahida Parveen after a botched bone marrow biopsy attempt.

Shahida had died shortly after a diagnostic procedure performed by Mamman in the Haematology Unit of Royal Oldham Hospital on Monday 3 September 2018.

Following her death, a consultant provided an expert opinion that the procedure – a bone marrow biopsy via the sternum – had been inappropriately and incompetently performed.

Mamman was suspended on 13 April 2023, following a medical practitioners tribunal on 6 April.

He has not worked for the Northern Care Alliance since the tragic incident in September 2018.

Mamman was previously suspended from the medical register for a period of 12 months in November 2005 due to concerns around his date of birth. Following the lifting of his suspension by the General Medical Council in 2006, Mamman was reinstated to the Medical Register and free to apply to the trust.

Previous concerns had been raised in 2015 in respect of Mamman’s clinical practice. These concerns were investigated in line with the usual processes in place at the trust. No restrictions were placed on Mamman’s practice as a result, and he had no restrictions on his practice at the time of the incident in 2018.
