With increased regulation and litigation in the health-care sector, appearing in court is becoming an almost routine part of a district nurse's role. A review of local newspapers shows that in the last 4weeks alone district nurses around the UK have given evidence in no fewer than ten different cases that have involved the coroners' court, county court and magistrates' court. The prospect of appearing in court or giving evidence at fitness to practice hearings remains a daunting one. The process is still largely adversarial and cross examination is a hostile experience. This article highlights the principles of good evidence.
随着医疗保健领域监管和诉讼的增加，出庭几乎已成为地区护士工作中司空见惯的一部分。对当地报纸的一项调查显示，仅在过去4周内，英国各地的地区护士就至少在10起涉及死因裁判法庭、郡法院和治安法庭的不同案件中提供了证据。出庭或在执业资格听证会上提供证据的前景仍然令人望而生畏。这一过程在很大程度上仍然是对抗性的，交叉询问是一种充满敌意的经历。本文强调了提供有力证据的原则。
