Giving evidence for a second day<\/a>, Dr Searle was again quizzed regarding emails exchanged between senior staff in the aftermath of the Christmas Eve incident.<\/p>\n

Ms Cunningham focused on one message said to mention avoiding “foot in mouth syndrome” and that not all messages had been provided to the tribunal.<\/p>\n

She added Dr Searle’s search for emails related to the case had either been “surprisingly incompetent or deliberately withholding” the email.<\/p>\n

Dr Searle said she rejected the latter suggestion.<\/p>\n

Ms Cunningham accused Dr Searle of “turning up the emotional heat” with how she reported the incident in the datex.<\/p>\n

She replied that she had reported the incident as she saw it, with a junior doctor upset about something that had happened at work.<\/p>\n

Dr Searle had told the tribunal on Tuesday she considered reporting the matter to Police Scotland as it could be considered a hate crime.<\/p>\n

Ms Cunningham asked Dr Searle if she would have recognised Dr Upton as trans if she had not been told, and claimed the junior doctor was “obviously male”.<\/p>\n

The lawyer added that the Christmas Eve incident could have been resolved by Dr Upton leaving the changing room, rather than telling Ms Peggie to speak to management about it.<\/p>\n

Dr Searle said she disagreed this would have been a suitable way to end the altercation.<\/p>\n

The tribunal continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giving evidence for a second day, Dr Searle was again quizzed regarding emails exchanged between senior staff in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4316],"tags":[105,4348,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-286113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114904482871072327","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
