PinkNews boss suspended from NHS job after BBC investigation
Following the publication of the investigation, more than 10 former PinkNews staff members have come forward to share their experiences of working there.
As well as his role at PinkNews, Dr James also served part-time as an associate non-executive director in the NHS.
The role, described by the NHS as a “step up” role, was designed to allow people with potential to become non-executive directors to get more experience working on an NHS board.
Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust told the BBC it was “aware of allegations made on the BBC against Dr Anthony James, associate non-executive director, in his role as PinkNews’ chief operating officer.”
A spokesperson for the trust added: “Following these allegations, we made the decision on Tuesday 10 December to suspend him from his associate non-executive role pending further information.”
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing during Dr James’ time with the NHS.
The BBC contacted representatives for Dr James for comment on his suspension.
