Accident and Emergency

This study was undertaken to establish how frequently women told hospital staff that injuries were as a result of violence by a partner, the nature of injuries inflicted and the number of repeat admissions, and the response of Accident and Emergency staff, when treating a woman subjected to violence by a partner.

This research study is a joint project between Women's Aid, Dublin and St. James' Hospital, Dublin.Written by Joan Cronin (Social Work Department, St. James' Hospital) and Monica O'Connor (Manager of Research and Policy, Women's Aid, Dublin)
