Wellbeing | AstraZeneca wrongly sacked Dr whose mental health impacted behaviour towards colleagues

AstraZeneca was wrong to sack a senior scientist whose mental health affected his behaviour towards colleagues, a UK employment tribunal has found.

Dr Muir, who had worked for the pharmaceutical giant since 1998, and was a leading scientist in the firm’s development of a drug called Truqap, recently approved in the US to treat some forms of breast cancer.
