NHS nurse’s tribunal over trans doctor’s use of changing room hears final evidence

Last-minute application from NHS Fife’s lawyers to amend their pleadings means could delay case by months

An employment tribunal brought by an NHS Fife nurse who objected to sharing a changing room with a transgender doctor has concluded its evidence with conflicting interpretations of how the supreme court’s landmark ruling on sex impacts on the case.

Sandie Peggie, who has worked as a nurse for more than 30 years, contends she was subject to unlawful harassment under the Equality Act when she was expected to share a changing room with Dr Beth Upton.
