Our Nurse Experts
At Apex Experts, we’re proud to specialise in nurse expert witness services.
Our panel is made up of highly experienced nurses from a broad range of clinical backgrounds, including acute care, mental health, community nursing, intensive care, and beyond.
We work with professionals across the UK, providing balanced, well-reasoned opinions for Claimant and Defendant solicitors, regulatory proceedings, coroners’ inquests, and NMC fitness-to-practise cases.
If you’re a nurse interested in becoming an expert witness, we offer a welcoming route into the field.
Our training programme is designed specifically for nurses and offers the tools and confidence you need to get started.
We support nurses at every stage of their expert witness journey, with clear guidance, document templates, peer support, and optional case feedback to help you grow.
For instructing parties, we offer a fast, responsive service and access to a carefully vetted panel of nurse experts with extensive clinical and medico-legal experience.
Our team can help you match the right expert to your case and manage everything from initial instruction through to report delivery, ensuring deadlines are met and compliance is maintained throughout.
Whether you're seeking an expert opinion or looking to develop your career as one, we're here to support you every step of the way.

It’s flexible, well organised, and it’s clear they really value their experts."
