Amanda Muir shaved her head to make it look as though she was having cancer treatment.

She even faked medical letters to convince the NHS to prescribe her strong medication and falsely claimed ill-health retirement.

The neonatal nurse, who worked at Wishaw General Hospital in Lanarkshire, was charged with obtaining £185,442.95 from the Scottish Public Pensions Agency by fraud between April 13, 2021, and August 31, 2024.
