- Description
I write to you on behalf of the Violence Research Group of Cardiff University. We are conducting an annual national study of attendances to Emergency Departments (EDs) for assault-related injury and would be grateful if your department could provide us with attendance data for 2015. This data will be used, as in previous years, to analyse trends in violence in England and Wales from injury perspective.
Altogether, we are retrieving attendance data from over 100 EDs in England and Wales. The data we require are as follows (for period 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2015)
ED attendance date, age or date of birth, gender, reason for ED attendance.
We also require the total ED attendances for 2015.

Please see the attached spreadsheet, the data is based on the presenting complaint of assault being recorded on the A&E system.
