Today at Newcastle Employment Tribunal, Rose Henderson has given evidence in Darlington nurses’ case against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.

A previously undisclosed internal email from a senior NHS executive has come to light in the ongoing legal case involving female nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, who allege their rights were violated by a policy allowing a biologically male staff member identifying as female to access the women’s changing room.

Shocking new testimony from senior matrons at Darlington Memorial Hospital has confirmed that Tracy Atkinson, Director of HR at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, told nurses to “broaden their mindset,” “be more inclusive,” and “get educated” after they raised safeguarding concerns about a biologically male colleague using the female changing room.

Shocking evidence presented at the ongoing hearing into the treatment of nurses at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has revealed a disturbing disregard for the rights of female staff in favour of gender ideology.

Explosive testimony has emerged from an employment tribunal involving eight nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital, revealing how serious safeguarding concerns were dismissed by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust’s Head of HR, Tracy Atkinson, as mere “noise in the system.”
