Forensic and Legal Nursing
Forensic and Legal Nursing focuses on the application of nursing science to public or legal proceedings. It plays a critical role in healthcare, particularly when medical and legal concerns intersect, such as in cases of abuse, trauma, sexual assault, suspicious deaths, and malpractice. At the 5th Edition of the World Nursing Research Conference, the importance of forensic and legal nursing will be highlighted, emphasizing how forensic nurses are trained to collect evidence, document injuries, and provide expert testimony in court, all while delivering compassionate care to victims. Legal nurses, on the other hand, assist attorneys and courts by interpreting medical records and healthcare standards during litigation. This field supports justice, protects patient rights, and ensures ethical medical practice through detailed clinical and legal knowledge.
