An NHS trust has reinstated nurse Jennifer Melle and abandoned disciplinary action against her for an alleged data breach.

Melle, a Christian nurse, had earlier been disciplined by Epsom and St Helier Hospitals NHS Trust for "misgendering" a biological male and convicted paedophile.

She had told him: "I am sorry I cannot refer to you as her or she, as it’s against my faith and Christian values.” She was subsequently reported to the nursing regulator and given a final written warning in October 2024.
