A GP has spoken out and said she was bullied and harassed out of her NHS job after raising concerns over a transgender colleague's practice.
Dr Sarah Redvers, who was a safeguarding GP responsible for protecting gender distressed children receiving NHS treatment in Sussex, claimed she was accused of transphobia after reporting Brighton GP and lead clinician Dr Sam Hall.
She had brought a claim for constructive dismissal against NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board.
The tribunal heard that Dr Redvers first raised concerns in July 2020 over Dr Hall giving puberty blockers to under-18s. Those concerns were investigated, but NHS England concluded it was satisfied with the care provided by Dr Hall.
However, six years later, multiple failings affecting up to 78 children at Dr Hall's practice were uncovered in a separate report.
Dr Redvers' initial concerns came about after a gender distressed 18-year-old female patient had gone to an online clinic registered overseas, wanting them to take over prescribing testosterone.
Dr Redvers also discovered that such prescriptions had been given by Brighton GP and lead clinician Dr Hall.
