The role of the Nurse Advisor is very different in a commercial company. The nurse advisor goes into practices, carries out patient reviews and manages clinics for patients in certain therapy areas. Their aim is to ensure that the patient is getting the best treatment in their therapy area, and often they are able to provide a treatment review that the patient isn't aware they could benefit from as drugs and treatment advance. Its a really proactive way of ensuring patients are getting the information they need and not waiting until their treatment fails to call the doctor.
