Abstract
Sexual assault and Gender Based Violence
in Scotland have been deemed a major
public health issue (NHS Health Scotland,
2017). However, a recent evaluation of
forensic health services in the country has
deemed the provision of care for victims of
sexual assault inadequate (Her Majesty's
Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland,
2017). Nationally and internationally these
issues have been addressed by the
introduction of Sexual Assault Nurse
Examiners (SANE) yet Scotland has lagged
behind in developing this specialist role.
This literature review explored adult sexual
assault victims’ experiences of healthcare
as delivered by SANE and demonstrated
the positive impact on the victims’ journey
to recovery. Therefore it is recommended
developing education programmes for the
development of nurses in this specialist
role.
