Congratulations to her. It should never have gone so far.

Fantastic news!

Good too hear, I happy for her, but what a travesty that it even became an issue, and that the NHS trust took it so far. 🤬

I reckon over £1m of taxpayer money has been spent by NHS trusts to defend these indefensible claims

Glad for Jennifer but furious that she had to go through this. This is the upside down, where a hard-working black female nurse is the villain if she calls a man Mr, while the aggressive, pronoun-wielding racist paedophile is seen as the poor helpless victim. Have people lost their minds? When are they going to have their “are we the baddies” moment?

I note the BBC hasn’t mentioned the fact it was a bloke abusing her, or that he was a convicted paedophile. He committed a hate crime yet he gets protected while the innocent nurse is treated like a bigot. Disgraceful.

Another complaint to the BBC from me I think. On the radio they did mention the bit about him being a paedophile prisoner, but reported that it was something she said rather than that it was a fact. I’ll try to find the clip.

From about 25 min in. Very dishonest reporting.

”The patient, who she said was a transgender prisoner”

WE SAVED JENNIFER MELLE!

The NHS has dropped their charges against Jennifer and reinstated her.

A HUGE thank you to over 22,000 people who signed our petition, and for the amazing @ChristianLegal and @DarlingtonUnion for their steadfast support for Jennifer.

You are heroes.

Hurrah 👏👏👏💚🤍💜

It's disgraceful that these nurses had to rely on right wing christian fundamentalist organisations (and the kindness of strangers) to fight their corners.%

It makes my blood boil that their unions effectively turned their backs on them. DEI means nothing if it doesn't include safety, dignity and respect for women.

Fantastic news 🥂

Very glad her employer decided not to punish her further. But this is still an awful situation overall.

They already issued her a final written warning and a referral to the NMC for "misgendering", gave her no support for the racial abuse, and dragged her through this disciplinary process, so the damage has already been done. I hope she has a good case at tribunal and takes them to the cleaners for this.

Also there's no indication that the "preferred pronoun" policy, nor the punishments for not pretending that men are women, have been remoted. This could happen again to someone else and probably will.

Congratulations Jennifer!

So very glad to hear this but, like so many, absolutely furious about the two years of hell for her and her family.

Great someone's seen the light and this case was dismissed, but I look forward to a positive result for Nurse Melle in the court case in April.

Courage calls to courage.

Well done Jennifer.

I am so sorry that you have had to go through this.

Bonne chance, for April

NHS supports an abusive racist paedophile over a woman doing her best to care for him. Yet another shitshow.

I'm so relieved for her and her family. Well done that courageous woman and everyone who supports these tribunal cases, in whatever way you can manage. You are all stars

The NHS really hates it's women nurses. Of all the things I could write, I don't think I ever reckoned I would ever write that.
Men playing at being women, whether NHS staff or paedophile patients, now the NHS is for you, but against women. Throw in women patients lumbered in mixed sex wards as well.

The BBC article says Jennifer called the racist pos 'Mr'

This hearing followed an incident in May 2024 where Melle was racially abused by a transgender patient after she addressed them as "Mr".

First a bit of an eyeroll at the BBC using 'them'. I wonder if the entire editorial team got together to agonise about that. Secondly, it's sort of besides the point but didn't the paedophile overhear a conversation? As far as I'm aware she never addressed him as 'Mr'.

Nurse Melle was on the phone to a doctor discussing the treatment the male prisoner was to have and he overheard her. The fact that he is a male was particularly relevant to his treatment.

Going to catch up on all the posts tomorrow but likely i’m saying the same thing, it’s rare I’d advocate suing the nhs but I hope she does.
fucking madness

It's really insane.
Is this kind of thing what this era is really going to be remembered for?
That a woman whose job is to provide best care which includes correct clinical info to another professional...age, weight, um, sex...has a spurious complaint based on an overheard fragment, the complaint is then upheld and followed thru, and this nurse is made to feel like a criminal.
You know the only reason this is dropped is the shit PR those that hung the nurse out attracted, and the mounting cases of NHS nurses winning their cases.
No publicity or negative hearing outcomes, and this nurse would have continued to be hung, drawn and quartered.
An absolute sickness in the heart of our ruling classes.

Yes and she only explained her views to him after he initiated a racially abusive confrontation with her about it. She even offered a compromise of using his name when talking about him instead of male pronouns. The BBC are victim blaming again.

It speaks to a broken NHS where senior management are self-serving, evil charlatans who have totally diverted the organisation from it's main cause.

I was involved with the audit (have namechanged since) and one trust had a strategy that mentioned US slavery reparations and anti-colonialisation. It read as if the trust in question was located in the US. It was literally batshit and only had a very very glancing relationship with actually providing healthcare rather than social engineering.

This seemingly goes unchallenged - they spend money on a batshit anti-science ideology which they know will cost hundreds of thousands in legal fees even when it's obvious they'll lose, at the cost of patient care.

When they're so busy trying to impose the latest luxury ideology on victims patients and persecuting nurses like Jennifer, it's not bloody surprising that A&E waits are so long.

Jennifer Melle's bravery and steadfastness under persecution is phenomenal. She should never have been subjected to this appalling treatment. When she should have been supported after being abused by a patient, she was punished instead, and she is right not to let the matter drop.

Good for Jennifer.
But how dare the NHS, which is apparently on its knees, waste so much of the tax payers money on these endless court cases. If this doesn’t show that many chief execs need sweeping out of their cronie-ism, I don’t know what will. It’s rife with nepotism and corruption, Bevin would be turning in his grave.

I am so relieved for you Jennifer , if you are on here. You should never of had to go through this. I wish you good luck for the future ! Thank for standing up to this terrible ideology!❤️
