The RoleWe are inviting experienced Nurse Practitioners (Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Clinical Practitioners, and Emergency Nurse Practitioners) with Medico-Legal experience to join our expanding panel of expert clinicians, supporting clinical negligence screening and advisory work across a high-volume, ongoing Medico-Legal contract.
