Methods Retrospective study November 2014 to November 2015. 50 case notes were identified from two sites within our service – 23 from Site1 and 27 Site2. In addition to BASHH auditable outcomes, we included data such as: Time from assault to attendance, History of previous assault, Disclosure at time of attendance, Police report at attendance & Attitude to reporting at end of consultation, documentation of follow up plan re medical and psychosocial support/referrals.
