COPFS said Azam sexually assaulted the woman and made inappropriate sexual remarks, leaving the victim feeling "violently sick".

A "predatory" pharmacist who abused two women during medical examinations has been jailed for two years.

Azam was last month found guilty of two charges - communicating indecently and sexual assault - following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

For Women Scotland said "this cannot be allowed to happen anywhere else" as it called on pharmacies to ensure robust training is in place and staff are made aware of the "necessity to chaperone those seeking a consultation".

Susan Smith, director of the campaign group, told Sky News: "There is something especially repellent about healthcare professionals who exploit their role and abuse the trust of those seeking medical help.
