Farnborough, UK: Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch; April 2023.

Misattribution of child maltreatment injuries can be a serious misdiagnosis affecting families and patients. This report analyzes ten safety incident reports from across the British National Health Service to explore how non-accidental injury was missed. Themes identified as contributing to the problems include lack of information sharing, inconsistent guidance, and emergency department care demands.
