Introduction

Nurses provide a variety of medical services to all sections of the community. They work in the prevention of illness, the promotion of health and the care of the diseased, disabled and elderly.

In Australia, nurses are qualified through the university system and must be registered by the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency.

At the bottom of this profile are brief details of a number of the experts that Expert Experts represents. Call our office to discuss your requirements and to obtain a recommendation that suits your needs and budget.

Expertise in Action

Experts in nursing are often asked to provide expert opinion with regard to:

  • Nursing laws, standard, policy and procedures
  • Wound care
  • Interpretation of medical documentation and jargon
  • Assessment of accidents such as:
  1. Emergency triage misdiagnoses
  2. Falls
  3. Choking episodes
  4. Cannulation mistakes

Cost

The overall cost of expert opinion depends on the services required. Some of the key factors that affect the cost of advice include:

  • The need for a view or inspection of a location
  • The quantity of documentary material to be reviewed
  • Whether there are reports of other experts to be reviewed and commented on in detail
  • Whether there is a need for conferences with the expert either in person or by telephone/Skype

From expert to tasks, expert nursing practice redefined?
