A doctor who sold personal protective equipment during a critical shortage in the pandemic has been struck off.

Last year Dr Attiya Sheikh received a 10-month prison sentence after admitting she, along with husband Omer Sheikh, had sold PPE on eBay that had been taken from NHS Scotland between May and October 2020 as coronavirus spread in the UK.
