Trans changing room row nurse cleared of misconduct as tribunal resumes

FIFE, SCOTLAND, JUL 15 – Nurse Sandie Peggie was cleared of four gross misconduct allegations after an 18-month investigation as her employment tribunal over transgender changing room access resumes in Dundee.

  • Nurse Sandie Peggie was placed on suspension by NHS Fife last year following her objections to sharing a female changing room with transgender doctor Beth Upton at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
  • Her suspension followed a risk assessment she was not involved in, amid allegations of bullying and harassment including an incident on Christmas Eve 2023.
  • After an 18-month internal disciplinary process and review of evidence, NHS Fife cleared Peggie of four gross misconduct allegations and imposed no formal sanctions.
  • NHS Fife spent over £220,000 defending against Peggie’s tribunal claim citing sexual harassment and harassment related to protected beliefs under the Equality Act 2010.
  • As the tribunal case resumes, NHS Fife confirms satisfaction with the process but will not comment further, while ongoing legal and policy questions remain around compliance and patient safety.
