Concerning Amy Agnes Mcwilliams, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 12I2125S).
Decision date: 9 June 2026
In plain English
The NMC agreed to remove Amy Agnes Mcwilliams, an adult nurse from South Lanarkshire, from its register on 9 June 2026 at her own request. It was alleged that she worked while under the influence of an unknown substance and failed to cooperate with an NMC investigation; she denied working under the influence and no allegation was found proved. The NMC decided the public interest was best served by agreeing her removal.
Charges
It was alleged that Amy Agnes Mcwilliams worked while under the influence of an unknown substance and failed to cooperate with an NMC investigation. She denies that she attended work under the influence and says that the referral was malicious. No allegation has been found substantively proved by one of the NMC's statutory committees.
Findings
The Assistant Registrar, exercising delegated authority under Rule 14, agreed to removal from the NMC register, being satisfied that Ms Mcwilliams no longer intends to work as a registered nurse, that although serious the concerns do not require consideration by the Fitness to Practise Committee in order to uphold public confidence or professional standards, and that the public interest is best served by agreeing the application for removal. The decision will be published for twelve months from 9 June 2026.
