  • Summary

  • In this Bell Work Talk, we talk about Forensic Nursing in Switzerland. History, current situation and an outlook into the future. - Hints on how to implement Forensic Nursing - The importance of Networking to implement Forensic Nursing - Obstacles in implementing a new nursing specification - Get an overview how Forensic Nursing is developing in Switzerland or other European countries My name is Dominice, I am 40 years old and I work as a Forensic Nurse since two years at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Zurich. Since April we have a project at the Canton of Zurich where hospital emergency room staff can call us Forensic Nurses when they have people affected by sexual or domestic violence. We Forensic Nurses go out into the hospitals to document injuries, do DNA-swabs and talk with the people affected about next steps that can be done, mostly connect them to victim counselors. In Europe there is the “Istanbul Convention” who needs to be realized by the countries who signed the Convention. Goal of the convention is, to bring better support for victims of domestic or sexual violence. Switzerland has developed an Action Plan to implement the goals of the Istanbul Convention over the next few years. Forensic Nurses are or can be part of the plan. Forensic Nursing itself is relatively new in Switzerland and there are not a lot of possibilities to work as a FN in Switzerland at the moment. But we are working on it. Survey: We’d really like to learn more about what you think of the podcast, and what you’d like to hear in future episodes. https://forms.gle/dos4a11PEmCgth7Z8 (EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING)
