Binu Sivadasan Das

On October 13, 2016 the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee identified concerns about Binu Das' clinical decision-making particularly with regard to their failure to perform thorough skin sensation testing prior to the application of interferential current (IFC) as well as their failure to manage patient expectations. The Committee determined that these concerns were significant enough to require Binu Das to appear before a panel of the ICRC to be cautioned. 

At the request of B. Das this matter was reviewed by the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board and returned to the College for further investigation.

On November 8, 2017, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee made a second decision related to the practice of B. Das.

The Committee identified concerns about Binu Das' clinical decision-making. Additional concerns were identified with Binu Das’ approach to managing patient expectations. The Committee determined that these concerns were significant enough to require Binu Das to appear before a panel of the ICRC to be cautioned.

In December 2017, the College was informed that B. Das has sought a review of the ICRC’s decision at the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB). On December 4, 2018, HPARB upheld the ICRC’s decision.

Since 2017, as required by law, the College has been posting cautions on the public register. A caution is a decision made by the ICRC when a concern raised in a complaint or in a formal investigation is sufficient to require the physiotherapist to attend before a panel of the ICRC to receive feedback from the panel on how to prevent similar concerns from arising in the future. A caution does not involve a finding of wrongdoing, professional misconduct or incompetence and is not disciplinary in nature.
