Summary at a Glance

The nurse, who was accused of bullying and harassment, has lodged a complaint against NHS Fife and Dr Upton of sexual harassment or harassment related to protected beliefs under the Equality Act 2010 regarding three changing room incidents - indirect harassment; victimisation; and whistleblowing.

It was noted that Dr Upton sent a message to line manager Dr Kate Searle in the early hours of Christmas Day following an incident with Ms Peggie in the changing room the day before.

It was put to Dr Upton that when Ms Peggie left the changing room on two occasions in August and October 2023, cited in the harassment complaint, that this was a refusal to join "immersive role play", however, the doctor denied this.

At the tribunal in Dundee on Tuesday, Dr Upton gave evidence about concerns regarding a next shift on 28 December where Ms Peggie was scheduled to be working, and about an allegation regarding patient safety on 18 December, and said: "I'm not making things up.".

A transgender doctor continued to use a female changing rooms after an incident with a female nurse who objected, and said "I thought I would put my big girl pants on and be brave", an employment tribunal has been told.
