Trans tribunal phone notes were not checked in person
Peter Donaldson, an information security manager for NHS Fife, instead joined a Teams call with Dr Beth Upton in May this year to assist in downloading notes from a mobile phone.
Mr Donaldson told the tribunal that "time was limited" but that it would have been "more beneficial" to have carried out the exercise in person.
Ms Peggie and Dr Upton had a row on 24 December 2023 in the women's changing rooms, regarding whether the doctor should be allowed in there.
The nurse was then suspended after Dr Upton made an allegation of bullying and harassment and cited concerns about "patient care".
The tribunal previously heard Dr Upton had recorded details of alleged incidents involving Ms Peggie prior to Christmas Eve in written notes on a phone.
When asked if the "most reliable" way to ensure the phone information was accurate would have been to carry out a forensic examination, Mr Donaldson agreed.
