A doctor and former Apprentice contestant has been accused of ‘disappearing’ hours into a shift at a Coventry hospital, a medical tribunal has heard.
Dr Asif Munaf is also accused of sending a string of antisemitic, racist and sexist posts on social media.
Dr Munaf was a contestant on the 2024 edition of the BBC series the Apprentice, fronted by Lord Alan Sugar.

The tribunal heard that Dr Munaf is accused by the GMC of ‘disappearing’ just hours into a locum placement as a cardiology specialist registrar at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in January 2024.
He walked out ‘without notice or good reason’ the tribunal heard.
In separate allegations Dr Musaf was accused of sending ‘seriously offensive’ comments from his X account on various dates between October 2023 and last July.
According to the GMC this includes Holocaust denial and statements equating Jews with Nazism.
In a separate post he is accused of stating that women should not do certain jobs and criticising female empowerment.
On Monday the General Medical Council (GMC) outlined the misconduct allegations against the doctor who is registered under his full name Mohammed Asif Munaf.
Dr Munaf has not attended the tribunal and is not legally represented.
At a previous hearing he denied his posts were antisemitic and added they were “not befitting of someone as educated as myself and were said in the heat of the emotion”.
The MPTS hearing continues.
