Day 5 | AM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton 😭“She Felt Cornered”: Dr. Searle’s Testimony and the Clinical Cost of Pretence The fifth morning of tribunal resumed late, as so many have, but when it did, the witness box was taken by Dr. Kate Searle, a senior A&E consultant…

While all eyes are on the Sandie Peggie tribunal it’s worth reminding ourselves that Peter Murrell has yet to be indicted notwithstanding his appearance on petition 4 months ago. It will be convenient for Nicola Sturgeon if this delay continues until after the launch of her book
Why is NHSFife lawyer bringing up incidents that NHS Fife’s own inquiry say there is no evidence for ?
KS - when DU found SP, SP spoke through another staff member, wouldn't speak directly JR - what dd you make of that KS - concerned, first I'd heard that, concerned for patient safety if nurse can't talk to Dr, we need to communicate well for safety JR - subsequent conv with other
Before it starts, I just want to thank all of the members of the Tribunal Tweets team for their sterling work. I learn much about the law from Legal Twitter but I’ve learned quite a bit about tribunal proceedings from your impartial reporting.
Good Lord, are there no actual doctors at NHS Fife?

Reading this report of the evidence of Ms Myles, you may struggle to believe that she was called as a witness by @NHSFife. I missed her evidence yesterday but she seems, uniquely for Fife, at least to have known the essential outlines of her role. centralfifetimes.com/news/national/…
Dr Kate Searle entering the Tribunal this morning. Looking more chipper than I would in her shoes.

Trump security attempting to stop me photographing the new Macleod golf course from public land at Trump International Golf Links . The usual BS about not being allowed for several BS reasons. They even blasted me with a loudhailer. Security lookout on the hill.

Good morning. This is the fifth day of the July session of hearings in Peggie vs NHS Fife & Dr B Upton. Due to start at 10am. Today we expect the first witness to be Kate Searle, A&E consultant
Stop and look. The defence of a Scottish health board (at public expense) is invoking vicious (and irrelevant) gossip that a woman is unhappy that her daughter is a lesbian. Her daughter.👇
Jeez do I need to go back under oath to clear this up😝 My mum is my best friend, has and always will be. Her only concern is if I’m happy🩷
Civil servants are moaning about going into the office TWO days a week. Threatening to quit because they can’t pet their cat on work time. Sounds less like ‘public service’ and more like professional skiving. Get rid of them. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/15108201/…
