A locum doctor has been accused of providing inadequate care to 17 patients while he worked at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
Dr Jiri Lojda has also been accused of “not having the necessary” knowledge of English” for the job.
He will appear before a Medical Practitioner’s Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearing next month.
He faces a charge relating to his work as a locum senior house officer in emergency medicine at Raigmore between July 8 and 10, 2014.
It is alleged that his treatment of 17 patients was inadequate.
It is further claimed that while working at the north’s flagship hospital, Dr Lojda failed to communicate adequately with patients and their relatives, as well as colleagues in emergency medicines and specialist teams to whom he was making referrals.
The doctor also faces a charge relating to his work in England the month before his spell at Raigmore.
He is alleged to have provided inadequate care for 10 patients at Wansbeck General Hospital in Ashington, Northumberland, on June 11, 14 and 16, 2014.
The MPTS will consider whether his fitness to practise is impaired by reason of misconduct, deficient professional performance and not having the necessary knowledge of English.
The hearing will be held in Manchester and is scheduled to start on Monday, August 8 and run until Friday, August 19.
