Abstract:
Nurses working in emergency departments (EDs) need specialist training to identify and respond appropriately to patients who have experienced domestic abuse (Gibbons 2011). This article describes the development of a domestic abuse nurse specialist role in an ED, a training programme for new ED staff and relevant resources for patients. It also outlines the results of an evaluation of the role and makes recommendations for service development.
