Working method and organisation
External experts
The NPM has the possibility to call in external
expertise for individual visits. External experts are
temporarily assigned to the NPM's visit team during
the preparation for and execution of one or more
visits. They also help to write the visit report and
contribute professional advice and competence
building to the visit team.
In 2016, the NPM was assisted by external experts
during two of its visits. Georg Høyer participated as an
external expert during the visit to Norgerhaven Prison
and Christian Ranheim participated as an external
expert during the visit to the adolescent psychiatry
clinic at Akershus University Hospital.
