Concerning Amanda Robertson, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 99I0199S).
Decision date: 18 June 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed an application from adult nurse Amanda Robertson for removal from its register on 18 June 2026. An Assistant Registrar decided the public interest was best served by the agreed removal, noting she no longer intends to work as a registered nurse. The NMC had been investigating a health concern and an alleged formal police warning for possession of Class C controlled drugs; no allegation was found proved.
Charges
On 17 October 2024 the NMC received a referral raising a concern that Amanda Robertson has a health condition capable of impairing her fitness to practise. It was also alleged that she received a Formal Police Warning for possession of Class C controlled drugs. The matter was referred to the case examiners but the investigation was not finished. No allegation had been found substantively proved by a statutory committee.
Findings
An Assistant Registrar, acting under delegated authority and Rule 14 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (Education, Registration and Registration Appeals) Rules 2004, agreed to removal from the NMC register. The Assistant Registrar was satisfied that there was enough information to make a decision about the seriousness of the concerns and the public interest, that Amanda Robertson no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that the allegations were not likely to result in a striking-off order, and that the public interest was best served by agreeing the application. A record of the decision will be published for twelve months from 18 June 2026.
