Transgender doctor at centre of hospital changing room row tells tribunal presence was not an 'invasion of privacy'

A transgender doctor at the centre of an employment tribunal has disagreed that their presence in a female changing room was an "invasion of privacy".

The tribunal has been brought by nurse Sandie Peggie, who was suspended from Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy in January 2024 after objecting to Dr Beth Upton using the changing facilities in the A&E department on Christmas Eve 2023.

The nurse, who was accused of bullying and harassment, has lodged a complaint against NHS Fife and Dr Upton of sexual harassment or harassment related to protected beliefs under the Equality Act 2010 regarding three changing room incidents - indirect harassment; victimisation; and whistleblowing.
