🟣 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵: 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁

On average, it can take a victim of domestic abuse 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 to seek support from professionals, and around 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 to leave an abusive relationship.

This delay is often due to 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, such as financial dependency, concerns for others at risk - particularly children - and, most significantly, fear that the perpetrator may escalate their behaviour, placing the victim at greater risk.

To support victims on this difficult journey, domestic abuse services offer 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 to listen and understand their concerns.

Support workers do not judge or tell victims what to do about the relationship. Instead, they help them explore available options and specialist services that can provide further assistance.

Key advice offered by domestic abuse services is 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, examples of which are shown in the image provided.

☎️ The following specialist domestic abuse services are available for support or referrals:

⚠️Today, our services are under pressure, and our ED is exceptionally busy. We are asking our community to they need if they are feeling under the weather.

👀ED is not always the best place to be. If you have a life threatening or emergency condition, or if you have deteriorated rapidly, then you should absolutely be in the department and being seen by our clinicians. However, if your condition is less urgent, you’d probably be better off being seen by clinicians in one of the other places, faster.

🩺You see, here in ED, we prioritise patients on clinical need and our most poorly patients will be seen by a clinician in one of our specialist areas: Majors, Resus or in our Ambulance Assessment Area. Children have a specific paediatric area, designed to keep them entertained and as calm as possible whilst they wait to be seen.

🚑These areas are behind the main waiting area so, even though the initial ambulatory (walk in) area may not look busy, it is likely that, behind the doors, there are patients needing specialist care having suffered a medical episode or trauma and our clinicians will be supporting them to ensure that they are stabilised and treated as quickly as possible.

⏰So, if your condition doesn’t need emergency treatment you may wait longer to see someone – and get back home.

➡️Please consider using alternative services for non-emergency health issues:
✅ Self-care: Manage minor ailments at home.
✅ Pharmacy: Get expert advice and over-the-counter treatments.
✅ GPs: Schedule an appointment for ongoing health concerns.
✅ NHS 111: Call or visit online for urgent medical advice.
✅ Urgent Treatment Centres: Urgent medical help when it’s not a life-threatening emergency.

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵: 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴

🗣 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 — that’s why we’re raising awareness about the vital role of breast screening in identifying breast cancer.

Breast screening can detect signs of breast cancer at an early stage by identifying tumours that are too small to feel or see.

Finding breast cancer early means treatment may be simpler and more likely to be effective.

ℹ️ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀

Breast screening uses an X-ray called a mammogram to capture images of the inside of your breasts.

Specialists then examine these images for any abnormal changes in breast tissue.

🟣 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗲

Stalking is any repeated, unwanted behaviour or contact that causes you to feel distressed and/or fearful for your safety.

This can occur in the context of a domestic abuse relationship or be carried out by someone who is unknown to the victim.

Stalking can have profound effects on physical and mental wellbeing, resulting in conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, and depression.

🚨 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 🚨

When someone reports experiencing stalking behaviour on two or more occasions, it is important to review whether the contact is:

• 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱
• 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲
• 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱
• 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱

These are strong indicators of concerning behaviour and a signal that the person should seek professional advice.

ℹ️ Examples of stalking behaviours can include (but are not limited to):

• 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱
• 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀
