title: Crime scene.
abstract: Nurses in Chichester are carving out new roles as forensic nurse practitioners (FNPs). Working closely with the police, they are making a significant contribution to the safety and welfare of detainees. The role of FNP attracts nurses from diverse disciplines. Nursing skills translate well to the need for accurate documentation. They work closely with forensic medical examiners. There are several models of service delivery around the UK.
