Bullying, harassment and violence in the NHS
The latest annual NHS staff survey, published at the end of February, shows that almost one in five staff report personally having experienced harassment, bullying or abuse at work from other colleagues, an increase from 18% in 2017 to 19% in 2018.
There was a slight fall in the number reporting that they have experienced physical violence from patients, relatives or members of the public, from 15.4% to 14.5%.
