“NHS Fife recognises that this has been a complex and lengthy process and acknowledges the careful consideration of Judge Kemp and the tribunal panel.
The employment tribunal unanimously dismissed all of the Claimant’s allegations against Dr Upton and all of the allegations against the Board apart from four specific aspects of the harassment complaint.
We will now take time to work through the detail of the judgment alongside our legal team to understand fully what it means for the organisation.
We want to recognise how difficult this tribunal has been for everyone directly and indirectly involved.
Our focus now is to ensure that NHS Fife remains a supportive and inclusive environment for all employees and our patients and to deliver health and care to the population of Fife."
