Overview
- NHS Fife confirmed Dr Beth Upton left the organisation at the end of 2025 and said it would make no further comment.
- An employment tribunal in December found NHS Fife had unlawfully harassed nurse Sandie Peggie on four counts while dismissing her discrimination and victimisation claims.
- All claims against Dr Upton were rejected, and the judgment recorded that some remarks Peggie made to the doctor amounted to harassment.
- The tribunal later issued corrected versions of its 312-page decision after an erroneous passage was identified, prompting public criticism of the drafting.
- Peggie plans to appeal the parts of the ruling she lost, as attention focuses on NHS Fife’s reported £400,000-plus legal costs and an ongoing information rights probe.
