Levi Whalley, a nurse and social media influencer, is allowed to keep her nursing licence after being caught attempting to smuggle cannabis into the UK. According to reports, Whalley tried to bring drugs into the country hidden in a suitcase when she travelled from the US, with her case involving a large quantity of cannabis. The Independent reports she was going through a “very difficult” period when she attempted the smuggling, while other coverage characterises the haul as substantial and estimated at a very large value. Sources say she was accompanied by another person during the attempt. The reports also state she faced the prospect of losing her nursing job and licence due to the offence, but authorities do not take steps to revoke her registration. The articles present the same core outcome: despite the cannabis smuggling allegation and the risk to her professional status, Whalley’s nursing licence remains in place.
