The following five chapters are concerned with the responses of the participating healthcare professionals (stage two participants) to a number of qualitative questions relating to domestic violence. The first two chapters are specifically concerned with the knowledge which healthcare professionals have about domestic violence outside the health interaction which occurs between them and women experiencing domestic violence. These two chapters also consider how the participating healthcare professionals view domestic violence in relation to their professional roles generally, and begin to examine how they perceive both domestic violence and the domestic violence patient. Chapters Eight, Nine, and Ten examine the clinical knowledge which healthcare professionals have regarding a range of issues which emerged in Part One. This section will address the similarities and differences between the perceptions of both groups of participants. Also, where the responses of the participating healthcare professionals can be contextualised within data from the domestic violence and health questionnaire sample (Abbott and Williamson, 1999), this data will be included for discussion. This section demonstrates the views which health practitioners hold in relation to domestic violence and violence-related injuries. As such, it offers baseline data with which to examine improvements in practice which may occur as a result of recent policy initiatives.
