GP says she was forced out of job after raising concerns about gender treatment

Dr Sarah Redvers, a named safeguarding GP, has claimed she was forced out of her job at the NHS after raising concerns about the treatment of children questioning their gender. She says she faced bullying, harassment and a brutal investigation after passing on complaints by other doctors. Redvers, who has extensive experience working with vulnerable groups, was named safeguarding GP for Sussex, meaning other doctors could seek her advice and assistance on patient safety issues.

She alleges that the focus on investigating her meant concerns of patient safety were sidelined. Dozens of children have been put at risk due to gender care failures at a GP clinic, according to a recent inquiry. Redvers brought a claim of constructive dismissal against the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board and Adam Doyle, who was the ICB's chief executive until 2025.
