Abstract

In 1999 the DOH set a target to reduce conceptions in under 18s by 50% by the year 2010. In this the Government, supported by the Children Act (1989), highlighted the fact that it would be the responsibility of every health care professional and local authority to help achieve this goal. This paper discusses current issues in relation to teen pregnancies, dispels popular misconceptions and suggests ways in which Accident and Emergency nurses can contribute.
