FETOC and SEMES’s toxicology group developed recommendations for hospital services. They cover clinical care, toxicological analysis, sample preservation and forensic coordination.
Person-centred care
Guidance includes consent, accessible communication and respectful interviewing to avoid further harm. Publication does not demonstrate uniform implementation across hospitals.
After the initial consultation
The national sexual-violence protocol supplies the wider continuity framework: discharge should include information about follow-up and communication between hospital services and primary care. It also provides for psychological and social support according to individual needs. Emergency care therefore connects with a recovery process that may extend beyond the initial consultation.
