Managing the very young patient: a conflict between the requirements of the Children Act and the VD regulations?
Abstract
We describe the case of a 12 year old girl who presented requesting screening for sexually transmitted infections and discuss a conflict between concerns of clinicians to maintain confidentiality and concerns of social workers to investigate the possibility of sexual abuse.
