Trans changing room row nurse cleared of misconduct as tribunal resumes

SCOTLAND, JUL 15 – NHS Fife has spent over £220,000 defending itself in a tribunal where nurse Sandie Peggie alleges sexual harassment and belief discrimination under the Equality Act.

  • On Tuesday, July 15, Sandie Peggie received confirmation from Fife Health Board that none of her misconduct allegations were upheld, just before the tribunal resumed.
  • Her suspension on January 3, 2024, at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, followed her complaint about sharing a changing room with Dr Beth Upton, and NHS Fife's internal process cleared her of all allegations.
  • NHS Fife has spent over £220,000 defending the tribunal, with two attempts to withhold information, according to reports.
  • No Scottish politician had spoken out until Michelle Thompson last week, and the Royal College of Nursing abandoned her, prompting political and union criticism.
  • The tribunal will resume on Wednesday in Dundee, Scotland, and is expected to last another 11 days.
