Careful case selection.
Meticulous preparation.

Each potential instruction is considered on its own facts, with attention to the clinical chronology, expert evidence, causation, proportionality and the client's objectives.

Understanding nursing practice

Nursing cases must be assessed in the reality of the clinical environment while maintaining the standards required for safe care. Records, staffing, escalation pathways and the patient's changing condition all matter.

Failure to monitor and escalate deterioration
Medication administration errors
Pressure ulcers and tissue viability
Falls and mobility assessment
Catheter, wound and continence care
Discharge, community nursing and care home failures

Systems and individual decisions

The relevant failure may involve an individual act, inadequate care planning, poor communication or a wider system that prevented safe escalation.
