Zholia Alemi worked as a psychiatrist for 22 years after she forged a medical degree, a court hears.

A woman who faked a medical degree certificate to work as a psychiatrist for more than two decades has been jailed for seven years.

Alemi studied to be a doctor in New Zealand in the early 1990s but did not finish her course, however she managed to work as a consultant clinical psychiatrist. An investigative journalist uncovered the truth, when in 2018 Alemi was convicted at Carlisle Crown Court of attempting to forge the will and powers of attorney of an 84-year-old widow from Keswick who was one of her patients - so she became main beneficiary of her estate.After that Phil Coleman from Cumberland News made phone calls to New Zealand which established the truth, prompting an investigation by Cumbria Police.

Apparently there were spelling mistakes on her degree certificate apparently the word verify was misspelt obvious box ticking exercise going on

Seems common place with all these newly arriving professional Drs, Nurses, Brain surgeons, take the case of the Irish Dr that decided to take a blood sample using a scalpel. I s*** you not. Heres the story

The NHS have fucked up big time here. How many more foreigners are working without stated medical qualifications? I suspect a lot. I do not them to do correct checks unfortunately.

That’s crazy 😜

I’m have a Batchelors degree but I can’t practice anything! It doesn’t mean a doctorate of anything! Our system is to blame in this!

Uk is desperate for mental health help not surprised she tried this and got away with it

Proves Psychiatry is a pseudo science. You could never pull this off in a hard science.

Brilliant.

She was an illegal

22 years? How is that even possible?

She must be one of these new highly qualified, doctors, surgeons, psychiatrists, airline pilots and engineers that flood the beaches of Kent bringing wisdom, hard work, honesty and harmony. Diversity is our strength.

As with these things, she probably did a better job than some fully qualified psychiatrists before she got too greedy and was caught.

Just goes to show it's a load of baloney that can be made up as you go along.

Poor women. She would have become PM had she been in India.

How did she get away with it for so long ? I think she should of been spotted earlier

Can you show us how she misspelled ‘verify’ please? I’m intrigued. And it signifies a serious thicko 😵‍💫

Thats nice- can we also jail politicians who engage in blatant lying and cheating?

Justice. Now what about the fake politicians? It's even worse there because they don't have to create a fake piece of paper - a brass neck is all they need.

👍

Keep her behind bar for long.
