Breaking News: NHS Trans Changing Room Row - Judge Rules in Favor of Nurse
A landmark employment tribunal ruling has been made in favor of nurse Sandie Peggie, who objected to sharing a female changing room with a transgender doctor. The tribunal found that NHS Fife harassed Ms Peggie in four ways, but dismissed allegations of discrimination and victimisation against the health board and Dr Beth Upton.
Nurse Sandie Peggie, a 30-year NHS veteran, was suspended from her job in a hospital's AE department after complaining about Dr Upton's use of the female changing room. The tribunal's decision has been welcomed by Ms Peggie, who described the past two years as "agonising".
The employment tribunal, which took place earlier this year, was high-profile and controversial. NHS Fife has said it will take time to work through the details of the ruling.
