Sandie Peggie

A page for news coverage and articles about the tribunal case brought by the heroic nurse, Sandie Peggie, against her employer, NHS Fife, and male colleague, Dr Beth Upton, over his entitlement to use a female staff changing room. Much appreciation to the team of volunteers who have been live tweeting the case for the Tribunal Tweets account on X. Some background and pdfs of their tweets can be viewed on their substack here.

A fascinating article about Sandie’s barrister, Naomi Cunningham.
