Nurses have presented evidence in support of Sandie Peggie, the nurse who was suspended by NHS Fife after she complained about a man in a woman’s same-sex space.

Peggie, who has been a senior nurse for approximately 30 years, said the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) failed to take her concerns seriously and treated her as though she had ‘done something wrong’.

She has claimed that the RCN had discriminated against her because of her protected gender-critical beliefs by failing to provide adequate advice, support, or legal representation after she was suspended by NHS Fife.
