Dr. Sarah Redvers, a doctor working in child protection for the NHS in Sussex, claims she was forced to leave her job after raising safety concerns about gender treatment provided to children by another doctor. She has filed a legal case saying she was bullied and investigated unfairly, while a later NHS probe found serious problems with the prescription of puberty-blocking drugs and hormones at the clinic she warned about.
Key Facts
Dr. Sarah Redvers raised concerns about how children questioning their gender were treated at a GP clinic in Sussex.
She says she was accused of transphobia, bullied, and pushed out of her job after passing on complaints from other doctors.
Redvers had the role of safeguarding GP, helping protect vulnerable patients.
An employment tribunal is hearing Redvers’ claim of constructive dismissal against the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board and its former chief executive.
A separate NHS safety review in 2026 found that 78 children were potentially harmed by inappropriate prescriptions of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones at the WellBN clinic.
The NHS investigations into the clinic followed a drug review in 2024, not immediately after Redvers’ earlier complaints.
NHS England called it unacceptable that young patients were put at risk due to care being provided beyond what was authorized.
The doctor Redvers complained about, Dr. Sam Hall, had recommended treatments without fully assessing patients and is known as a transgender rights campaigner.
