Overview
- An MPTS review on 29 August found no objective evidence that Dr Monika Matko’s English had improved to the required standard.
- The decision constitutes her sixth sanction following an initial six‑month suspension and multiple 12‑month suspensions after repeated test failures.
- Earlier concerns were raised in 2019 at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, including an email alleging significant documentation errors for a diabetes patient.
- The GMC told the panel that recent references about her work were positive but did not address her language competence.
- Dr Matko did not attend the latest hearing and provided no certificates for courses she said she was taking to improve her English.
