Скачать или смотреть "Totally Unacceptable!" | Nurses Facing ‘Abhorrent’ Violence Levels In A&E

Nurses are facing “abhorrent” levels of violence in A&E departments including being punched, spat at and even having a gun pointed at one of them.

And long waits in A&E are also leading to anger among patients who are not prone to violence, the nursing union said.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said more must be done to protect NHS staff.

One nursing leader said the issue of violence in A&E seems to be specific to the UK and she said that nurses are “expected to tolerate it”.

Speaking to Former NHS Trust Chairman Martin Gower, Talk's Julia Hartley-Brewer says: "The waiting is part of the issue!"
