A Highland doctor allegedly carried out "sexually motivated" examinations of a patient.

Dr Syed Tauqeer Bukhari reportedly performed exams which were "not clinically motivated" twice in July 2013.

He is also alleged to have lied to NHS Highland after a complaint was made about him.

Dr Bukhari, who earned his medical degree in Lahore, Pakistan, will face a hearing before the General Medical Council on October 31.

He has been ordered not to examine female patients without a chaperone present except in life-threatening emergencies in the meantime.

Dr Bukhari's hearing is due to conclude on November 18.
