Hi,
Ive been following this thread with interest (but have missed some
replies, so apologies if Im repeating someone). Im unsure where the problem
lies with risk assessment and PEP prescribing.
We are the Emergency department.
Assessment of a needle stick is an Emergency.
Starting PEP is an emergency invervention - again this is something we do.
Arranging follow-up if appropriate is what we do everyday and we dont do
most of it ourselves - we just arrange it.
Why do some appear to have a problem with ED involvement with this. Its well
within our scope, isnt it ?
Craig
