A nurse who was suspended for calling a transgender paedophile ‘Mr’ while treating him as a patient could be sacked for speaking out about the ordeal. The Mail has more.

Jennifer Melle, 40, was disciplined by St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, after refusing to use the pronouns of the individual, who was convicted of child sex offences, during an incident in May 2024.

In October that year, she was referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a “potential risk” for allegedly breaching its conduct policy, which states nurses should not express their beliefs “to people in an inappropriate way”.

The senior nurse, who served at St Helier hospital for twelve years, was later escorted from the premises during a shift and immediately suspended for allegedly speaking out about her treatment last year.

She told the Mail on Sunday, who broke the story, at the time: “I am devastated to have been suspended just for whistleblowing. Despite being the one placed at risk, I am the one being punished.”
