This is particularly shocking;

"Dr A argues that women receiving inpatient psychiatric treatment are among the most vulnerable patients in the healthcare system.
Dr A was also concerned that biologically male staff members, who identify as women, could be put forward to provide intimate same sex care to female patients, if they hadn’t already.
For example, a female patient who was deemed to be a risk to herself would likely be supervised in the shower whilst using a razor to shave her legs.
When Dr A raised this scenario with the EDI team , she was told that the female inpatient would have to justify why she wanted same sex intimate care, for example citing a history of sexual abuse, and the nurse in charge would have to decide if her argument was good enough.
During this conversation, Dr A was also told that there were no plans for this scenario to be addressed in any policy. Dr A alleges that her concerns around legitimate same sex care were dismissed as being hypothetical and not worthy of further institutional consideration."

It was the patient that exposed themselves not a member of staff.

Thanks - clearly I had a huge brain fart and read it entirely wrong. I reported my post and it’s been deleted.

I know Marc, I know - it’s the whistleblowers who pay the price but oh I wish we could challenge this wilful woke wastefulness. I’m absolutely livid about it.

A few of my clients are lawyers and barristers, I talk to them about this. I keep asking why law isn't "settled", objective and transparent.
They tell me that case law is constantly challenged, and only when a long term consensus of verdicts forms does everything fall into line.
We're apparently not at this stage yet, there have to be more cases yet to stabilize the temperature.
Which means, yes, women have to constantly be compromised, constantly have to go to court to seek clarity, be taken to court by the NHS etc to keep finding loopholes and exceptions.

And thank you to Dr A who has no doubt put her career on the line in order to expose these predatory NHS staff.

“Female psychiatric patients are among the most vulnerable people in our healthcare system. They are detained in these wards, many have experienced violence, abuse or trauma.

“As a senior doctor, I could not remain silent while women’s privacy and dignity were being compromised.”

Thank you, Dr A.

Yes.

Dear god, what the fuck has happened to society.
