Peer Reviewers
What is a Peer Reviewer?
Credentialing is the formal mechanism used to verify the qualifications, experience, professional standing and other relevant professional attributes of nurses for the purpose of assessing their professional suitability to be recognised as a specialist nurse who is practicing beyond entry level.
Peer review is fundamental to the quality and transparency of assessment of applications for credentialing.
A peer reviewer is a nurse with relevant experience in the speciality who has the knowledge and skills to assess credentialing applications against a set of established criteria under the governance of a specialist nursing organisation’s Credentialing Committee.
