The approach emphasises the importance of the role of the doctor in conducting thorough medical histories to understand a child's suspected experience and integrating that information into the formulation of a balanced and objective opinion. 'Emphasises the importance of the role of the doctor in conducting thorough medical histories to understand a child's suspected experience' Key Practitioner Messages Understand the clinical presentation of child sexual victimisation.
