A nurse who was suspended by the NHS after using the wrong pronouns to address a trans paedophile prisoner has won a settlement from the NHS Trust.

Jennifer Melle, 41, from Croydon, south London, was drawn into a lengthy battle with the body after she referred to a biological male - who identified as transgender - as "Mr" in May 2024.

The patient, who was an inmate from a high-security men's prison, was listed as male and was referred to as "he" on his medical records.

But when the Christian nurse, originally from Uganda, referred to him as so, she claimed he racially abused her and lunged to attack her in a terrifying ordeal.

He attacked her... and

During the intense conflict between Ms Melle and the paedophile, the inmate is said to have uttered racial slurs at the medic on three occasions at the hospital.

However, the nurse said she told the patient: "Sorry, I cannot refer to you as ‘her’ or ‘she’, as it’s against my faith and Christian values, but I can call you by your name."

The nurse was then brought before a disciplinary hearing and faced accusations of breaching confidentiality by speaking out to the media about her case in March 2025.

But surely this was quickly solved...

As a result, Ms Melle was set to face an employment tribunal against Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, starting on Monday.

Well it's now over?

The NHS nurse, however, still faces two investigations launched by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), whose code of conduct instructs that nurses should not display their religious beliefs "in an inappropriate way".

WTF?

Go Jennifer!
