Synopsis
Paediatric forensic medicine encompasses the medico-legal issues arising from the provision of a medical service to children.
The unit will largely focus on the medical assessment of cases of suspected child sexual abuse.

Integral to both evaluation and management will be a knowledge of the relevant legislation, policing and protective agencies, injury patterns, specialised investigative techniques and treatment.
