Abstract
Paediatricians, in common with all clinicians, rightly regard patient care as their prime responsibility. At the same time, all doctors have an opportunity and indeed obligation1 to prevent disease and promote health wherever and whenever possible. This paper summarises the scale and nature of the public health challenge posed by unintentional injuries in children, outlines the key preventive approaches, indicates the wide range of available evidence based countermeasures, and suggests ways in which paediatricians can contribute to injury prevention both in the course of their routine clinical duties and in partnership with others.
