Proximity Healthcare is looking for forensic nurses in the Northampton area! We’re a healthcare employment agency operating throughout the UK to recruit qualified and experienced nurses for agency work. We’re all about flexible scheduling, competitive rates, and top-quality recruitment practices.
Forensic nursing is the intersection of medical and legal practice. Often, you’ll find yourself examining victims of violence, such as intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and physical violence for evidence relating to criminal prosecution. They collect evidence and give testimony that can be used in a court of law to apprehend or prosecute perpetrators who commit violent and abusive acts.
Where FRNs work
You can work in a variety of fields: as a SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner) performing gynaecological practices, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, elder mistreatment, death investigation, corrections, and in the aftermath of mass disasters. Mostly, you’ll work in hospitals, community anti-violence programs, coroner’s offices, medical examiners’ offices, corrections facilities, and psychiatric hospitals. Work as a SANE, death investigator, or correctional nurse.
Although it’s a relatively new field of nursing, the speciality shows promise, especially with the rising rates of crime in the UK and Northampton. Several factors contribute to the rising demand, including increasing awareness of sexual assault and domestic violence, heightened elder violence, and the increasing need for medical evidence in legal cases. The International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) reported a significant rise in certification applications in 2021, with over 1,200 individuals seeking certification.
