Damage limitation

Article Abstract:

Accident and Emergency, (A&E), departments have to cope with about 150,000 people with self-harm injuries each year. They are deficient in protocols, service philosophy, staff support and training in self-harm management. It is suggested that an on-call advocacy system could limit the damage that a visit to A&E can inflict on such patients.
