Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, a Senior Advanced Nurse Practitioner employed by the respondent GP practice from 1 December 2022, brought complaints of disability discrimination (direct discrimination, harassment and failure to make reasonable adjustments) and constructive unfair dismissal. She relied on conditions including migraines, depression and fibromyalgia. The hearing took place in Edinburgh in February 2026 before Employment Judge Sangster, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by a lay representative from Peninsula.
The Tribunal considered the agreed list of issues prepared at an earlier case management hearing, addressing the alleged conduct said to amount to direct disability discrimination, harassment, failures to make reasonable adjustments (including longer consultation times, catch-up slots, limiting complex appointments, provision of blue screens and implementation of Occupational Health recommendations), and a series of matters said to breach the implied term of trust and confidence in support of the constructive dismissal claim.
The Tribunal held that the claimant's complaints do not succeed and are dismissed.

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
