Providing objective nursing opinion to win your medical negligence case.
Why use a Registered Nurse for a medical negligence case?
Registered Nurses are highly experienced health care professionals who can identify the main issues in a medical negligence case and provide an objective report on nursing standards of care.
Reports can be provided for the plaintiff or the defendent.
Registered Nurses have a comprehensive overview of the health care system and can assist with identifying the relevant specialty to provide a report.
Providing nursing assessments to NDIS/TAC and DHS clients
Do you or your client need a nursing assessment to justify the provision of nursing care to people with disabilities, permanent injury or aged care services?
Have you or your client been declined the provision of nursing care in lieu of high intensity support workers?
It is important to ensure the delegation of care from a registered health care professional such as a Registered Nurse (RN) or an Enrolled Nurse (EN) is a safe and appropriate delegation and the outcome of the delegated care can be monitored and evaluated.
I can provide nursing assessments in person or via video conferencing for clients who need nursing care as part of their ongoing treatment plan.
