Exploring the health service response to women experiencing domestic violence in Wakefield: adopting a discursive approach

Description

Yes / This report presents the findings of a research study exploring the health service response to domestic violence
within Wakefield. Recent international, national and local research has identified domestic violence as a serious
health care issue resulting in a wide range of long and short term health implications for women1 (Butler, 1995:
Stark and Flitcraft, 1995, 1996: Campbell, 2002). The research highlights the changing face of domestic violence
considering the implications of the recent reframing of domestic violence from a social care issue into an
integrated health and social care issue (Glendinning, 2003). Explored is the impact of such changes for health
policy makers, health professionals and women who having experienced domestic violence then access health
care services in the District. / Eastern Wakefield Primary Care Trust
