Employment Judge Kirsty Ayre has ruled that a heated row between an NHS consultant and her nursing colleagues was not initiated 'because of religion'.
The tribunal heard Dr Butt worked for an NHS Trust in Bradford but worked one day a week as a visiting Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Airedale General Hospital, in Eastburn, West Yorkshire.The panel heard there were Hand Hygiene Guidelines in place which required staff to be 'bare below the elbows to facilitate effective hand hygiene'.
'When she is working in what she considers to be a clinical area, she ensures that her arms are bare below the elbow,' the hearing was told. ' perceived that she was being challenged by three colleagues who were supporting each other and that she had done nothing wrong,' the hearing was told.After the length of her fingernails was also criticised, Dr Butt was 'unable to continue at work' and cancelled her operating list for the day so she could go home.
