Trends in the complexity of self-harm hospitalisations over 11 years at a major regional hospital in Victoria, Australia
Our findings indicate a trend toward more severe cases of self-harm over time, observed in both males and females, with an increase in the use of multiple self-harm methods.

In England the Government is currently reviewing the way that one regulatory body, the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), operates and carries out its inspection functions in relation to care homes for older people. This article reports on a study carried out in 2004 that asked managers of…
