NHS Nurse Amy Gallagher, who says she was forced out of her job for mocking the transgender flag after being placed under investigation for more than a year, is to sue the hospital where she worked. The Telegraph has the story.
Amy Gallagher, a mental health nurse, said she was placed “under investigation” by South London and Maudsley NHS Trust for two social media posts in which she expressed gender-critical views.
She was moved into a non-patient facing role during an investigation that lasted more than a year, but felt pressured to resign rather than return to her job because of the “hostility” towards her. She believes her treatment by the NHS trust was “unlawful”.
In one tweet, she replied to another user’s comment about “woke capitalism” with the word “Hell” above a picture of a Progress Pride flag co-branded with McDonald’s.
In a second tweet, she criticised “non-binary” art and the concept of “non-binary”. In a reply she stated “non-binary essentially means ugly”.
Ms Gallagher was planning to stand as the 2024 London mayoral candidate for the Social Democratic Party and claimed fighting the “woke ideology” and advocating women’s sex-based rights were key policy points central to her campaign.
But she said the NHS trust saw it differently and she was hauled through “disciplinary proceedings during which the clinical service manager told me my colleagues did not feel comfortable working with me”.
Ms Gallagher explained she was then “forced into a non-patient facing role” as a “hostile investigation” ensued. …
After a 14-month investigation, the trust finally withdrew its proceedings in February 2025, she said.
Amy is being helped with her case by the Free Speech Union.
