The joint operation involving police officers and trained NHS domestic abuse specialists started in April and Fylde coast officers have responded to domestic abuse reports alongside independent domestic violence advocates (IDVAs) or domestic abuse specialist nurses from Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
The initiative has been lauded by those involved and it even won the Patient Safety Improvement category at this year’s Nursing Times Awards 2020.
