A female nurse who objected to sharing a changing room with a transgender doctor has won a claim for harassment against NHS Fife.

Sandie Peggie was suspended from her job after she complained about Dr Beth Upton, a biological male who identifies as a woman, using a female changing room.

An employment tribunal judgment said NHS Fife had harassed Peggie but dismissed the other allegations against the health board and all claims against Dr Upton.
