Intro to the Enhanced Emergency Sexual Assault Services (EESAS)

This approach emphasizes minimizing further trauma for victims, restoration of control to victims and collaboration. The health services range from working with sexual assault nurse examiners and specialized physicians in urban centres to ER nurses and physicians sharing the care in rural or smaller communities.
