title: Lack of training in custodial medicine in the UK--a cause for concern?
abstract: This research demonstrates that forensic physicians in the United Kingdom (UK) who have not received academically approved introductory training in custodial medicine are failing to recognise adverse events in relation to patient safety and are missing forensic evidence. A model for future mandatory introductory training of forensic physicians is suggested.
