Sources: 2. Developments: 2. In July 2026, an employment tribunal found that NHS Fife had harassed nurse Sandie Peggie after she objected to sharing a women’s changing room with transgender doctor Beth Upton at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. The tribunal upheld the harassment claim but dismissed allegations of discrimination, indirect discrimination and victim‑isation, noting that current equality law does not definitively resolve the legality of a transgender person’s use of single‑sex facilities. A few weeks later, in early August 2026, the Employment Appeal Tribunal granted Peggie permission to appeal the decision on 13 grounds. The appeal is scheduled for early the following year, and the case continues to attract attention in the UK gender‑rights debate, with public figures and gender‑critical groups commenting on the outcome. Dr Upton has since left NHS Fife. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: Nurse Sandie Peggie cleared to appeal NHS Fife tribunal ruling The Employment Appeal Tribunal has allowed nurse Sandie Peggie to appeal a 2025 NHS Fife tribunal that found the board harassed her after sharing a changing room with transgender doctor Beth Upton; a full hear‑ 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nurse-sandie-peggie-cleared-to-appeal-nhs-fife-tribunal-ruling ### 2026-07-17: NHS Fife tribunal rules harassment after nurse objects to sharing changing room with transgender colleague Nurse Sandie Peggie won a harassment claim against NHS Fife after objecting to sharing a female changing room with a transgender colleague; discrimination claims were dismissed. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nhs-fife-tribunal-rules-harassment-after-nurse-objects-to-sharing-changing-room-with-transgender-col --- Cite as: NHS Fife transgender changing‑room dispute.
