Sandie Peggie: Issue of Trans Doctor Using Female Facilities Previously Raised, Tribunal Told
NHS FIFE, SCOTLAND, JUL 17 – NHS Fife dismissed four gross misconduct allegations against nurse Sandie Peggie after a tribunal, despite an ongoing legal dispute and criticism from political figures.
- Nurse Sandie Peggie confronted transgender doctor Beth Upton about sharing a female changing room at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy on Christmas Eve 2023.
- The confrontation followed earlier concerns Peggie raised in October 2023 and led to Dr Upton filing a bullying and harassment complaint.
- In response to concerns about her conduct, Peggie was placed on special leave toward the end of December 2023 and was subsequently suspended the following month while an investigation into her alleged inappropriate behavior toward a colleague was conducted.
- NHS Fife's internal hearing found insufficient evidence to prove gross misconduct, while Peggie denies wrongdoing and has lodged a claim citing the Equality Act 2010.
- The case underscores tensions over transgender rights in healthcare and has sparked scrutiny of NHS Fife leadership amid divided staff responses.
