N2  - In recent years a large proportion of self-harm patients attending hospital have not been admitted to medical or short-stay wards but have returned home directly from accident and emergency departments. A continued trend towards such a policy seems likely despite limited and conflicting evidence on its desirability. The clinical, training and epidemiological implications of changes in self-harm admission policy are outlined, together with recommendations concerning clinical audit.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
