Giving Evidence At Trial As Victim What To Expect

@bluelass I don't have any valuable advice to offer but rather than read and run wanted to say I'm glad you sound like you are in a better situation now and I sincerely hope this process gives you some peace.
All the very best with it.

Bluelass, I'm sorry if this comes across as being a little pedantic, but it is an important distinction. The CPS barrister is not representing you. They are prosecuting a case which is about your ex behaviour towards you, which isn't quite the same thing. It is important that you are clear on everyone's roles and expectations and possible outcomes so that you don't have unrealistic ideas about how the case might proceed and your role in it. 

With regards to the records this is the current guidance.

The CPS barrister who will be representing me in court phoned me this morning.
They wanted to speak to me about a incident when my wrist was broken and he stopped me going hospital for 5 days after it happened.
It was a bad colles fracture and I was in a lot of pain.
It happened in late 2006.
Will the hospital still have records?.

I'd certainly hope so.
But I wouldn't have thought you should be worrying about medical records.
Isn't that for the police/people prosecuting to obtain?
