An NHS nurse has been cleared of misconduct after challenging a trans doctor who used a female changing room.

Sandie Peggie was accused of misconduct by NHS Fife after questioning the presence of Dr Beth Upton.

Margaret Gribbon, Ms Peggie’s solicitor, said in a statement: “On Tuesday July 14, the evening before the resuming of her tribunal, Sandie Peggie received confirmation from Fife health board that following a disciplinary hearing, none of the gross misconduct allegations against her were upheld.

“This follows a disciplinary hearing on June 25, which considered four gross misconduct allegations: two relating to patient care failures, one of ‘misgendering’ Dr Upton, and one relating to her encounter with Dr Upton in the workplace female-only changing room on Christmas Eve 2023.

“Sandie is relieved and delighted that this 18-month-long internal process has concluded and cleared her of all allegations.”

Well, this is good news. I suspect that the slowly whirring cogs at NHS Fife have noticed the way the wind is blowing and trimmed their sails accordingly.

In any event, it's an excellent result, not only for Sandie, but any women following her, encountering a similar situation. Let's hope that, if a future Upton does this and goes weeping performatively to HR, they go:

"Fuck this! It's a radioactive hot potato!"

Timing seems v strategic. Hope someone with a legal brain can tell us how the tribunal will be affected

Someone FINALLY forced NHS Fife to stop persecuting her and wasting public money. Now sack everyone involved in this travesty, including the man who started it all.
