 Peter Atherton, counsel for the GMC, said: ‘In each of these cases Dr Iqbal manipulated his victims by the offer of teaching and learning assistance to them.

 ‘He also invited her to attend a course with him in Canada. When she made it clear his advances  were not welcome he said ‘‘at the end of your rotation you will be  begging for it’’.’

Later, after she moved hospitals, Iqbal allegedly sent the junior surgeon an offensive text which prompted her to make a formal complaint against him.

The text said: ‘A good boss is like a bra – always supportive and never lets you down, a bad boss is like Pampers – always stuck to your a***.’ The second alleged victim, known as Miss A, was a nurse practitioner who had just started training at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Iqbal was said to have lured her to a lecture theatre in November 2009 under the pretext of ‘demonstrating relevant anatomy’ before fondling  her breast.
