Domestic Violence Against Medical Staff
Nearly half of female medical staff in Australia have suffered domestic violence, with one in ten having experienced it in the past year.
A recent study published in the BMC Women’s Health Journal investigated 470 doctors, nurses and health professionals in Victoria and is believed to be the first to examine the link between domestic violence and female medical staff.
Here to discuss it was Elizabeth McLindon, the study’s lead researcher from the University of Melbourne and Royal Women’s Hospital.
