The transgender doctor who was at the centre of a legal dispute in Britain over the use of women’s spaces has been given permission to work in Australia.
Beth Upton, 30, left NHS Fife after the A&E nurse Sandie Peggie took her to court over the latter’s suspension due to a heated exchange at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy in 2023.
Peggie had objected to Upton, who identifies as a woman, using the female changing room.
Upton has now been registered as an emergency medic by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, which has allowed her(sic) to work under supervision at hospitals on the north coast of New South Wales.
She(sic) was registered on April 9, and her sex was listed as female. It was not immediately known whether she(sic) had started work.
