What is a litigation nurse - and what can you learn from them?

What is a litigation nurse and what is their role in addressing the complaints and concerns of patients and service users?   

What specific nursing skills can a litigation nurse bring to the legal team to meet client needs?   

The latest Nursing Standard podcast explores the role of a litigation nurse and, based upon this type of work, how nurses can reflect upon their own practice in areas such as record keeping and communication.   

In this episode we hear from litigation nurse Matthew Brown who works with a team of solicitors in Manchester, bringing his nursing skills into the legal arena.  

Mr Brown talks to RCNi senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett about his role, his day-to-day work, the advice he gives in relation to negligence claims and how he prepared for the role.
