title: Safety within the community: legislation, change and education.
abstract: Accidents are commonplace within society and hence have been identified as one of the key areas of the Government's Health of the Nation document (Department of Health 1992). This places a significant emphasis upon the nature of work undertaken in the Accident and Emergency setting. It is intended that this paper addresses issues related to clinical practice and highlights ways in which this practice may serve to enhance safety within the community as a whole.
