A Muslim radiographer has resigned from a Berkshire hospital over the NHS's "bare below the elbows" hygiene policy.
The unnamed agency worker claimed she was being discriminated against over her religious beliefs by the policies at Reading's Royal Berkshire Hospital.
This included the Islamic teaching that women should cover the body in public.
The NHS dress code was introduced in January to combat superbugs such as MRSA. The trust said the policy was explained when she first began work.
