An NHS nurse who was told her marathon world record attempt was void because she wore scrubs rather than a dress has had the decision overturned following a backlash.
Guinness World Records has awarded Jessica Anderson the title of fastest female marathon runner wearing a nurse's uniform after admitting its requirements were outdated.
"It has become quite clear to Guinness World Records that our guidelines for the fastest marathon wearing a nurse's uniform were outdated, incorrect and reflected a stereotype we do not in any way wish to perpetuate," said Samantha Fay, the company's vice-president.
GWR rules stated that a nurse's uniform must include a white or blue dress, a pinafore apron and a traditional nurse's cap.
Fay said GWR would no longer accept fancy-dress outfits for the nurse's category and instead adopt guidelines "Which reflect the clothes worn by nurses in the UK and around the world".
"Some of the nurses I work with do wear dresses but mostly we wear scrubs or a tunic and trousers. I've certainly never seen a male nurse wearing a dress to work."
