US EditionNHS Fife nurse suspended over trans changing room row breaks silence
- A Scottish NHS nurse, Sandie Peggie's complaint about Dr. Beth Upton using women's changing rooms led to her suspension, which she claims was harassment rather than bullying.
- Judge Antoine Tinnion ruled that the employment tribunal hearing must be public due to significant public interest in the case.
- NHS Fife and Dr. Upton's request for a private hearing was rejected, as many media and campaigning groups wished to attend and report on the case.
- The tribunal will last ten days in February, and NHS Fife has denied that Peggie's claims of harassment are valid.
