Unexplained Injuries: Managing Concerns Around Physical Abuse course for GPs
Dealing with children who have received unexplained injuries can be challenging.
The common public perception of non-accidental injury is that of a child with a black eye, belt mark, slap mark or, in the worst cases, children like Victoria Climbié and Peter Connelly.
In reality, however, non-accidental injuries are rarely so obvious and medical practitioners may need to seek assistance from other professionals to determine the exact cause of injury.
