A consultant anaesthetist who was struck off after he beat his ten-year-old son with an aluminium broom handle has got his NHS job back after he blamed his conduct on his 'cultural upbringing' in Nigeria. Dr Adekunle Okunuga, 59, was struck off the medical register after he was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by a disciplinary panel in 2015. The doctor has been working at the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Lagos hospital in Lagos for the past three years. Dr Okunuga has reflected on his actions and developed significant insight into their impact since the hearing in 2015. There are no public safety concerns in relation to Dr Okunuga.
