The court heard that Susan had joined the trust as a diabetes specialist nurse in October 2012, and Nayeck joined her team five years later.
Susan Hamilton had accused dietitian Abdool Nayeck of bullying her while working together at St Helier Hospital in Sutton, South London.
She took Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust to an employment tribunal citing a breach of contract … due to a total breakdown of trust and confidence".
Susan was signed off work with stress but returned in January 2021 where she raised a formal grievance against Nayeck and the trust's handling of her concerns.
She said: "The only change that occurred from [Nayeck’s] side is that he no longer made drinks for the team in the morning so by extension I was no longer specifically excluded in that regard.".
