hi guys,
I have a question regarding doctors working in A&E. If you get a patient who you suspect has been involved in a crime, such as been a victim of stabbing or other form of assault or even been the offender, do you then as the A&E doctor have to call the police regarding your suspicion or does patient confidentiality come in here?
Also, in cases of suspected child abuse, does the doctor make a decision to inform the police?
