Barts Health NHS Trust #WorkWithoutFear

Summary

There has been a lot of commentary recently about the “broken” NHS. One can only imagine how broken it would be if 65% of staff left the NHS because of the verbal abuse they faced at work.

Yet this is the reality. Across the country, staff across the NHS are verbally, physically and sexually assaulted every single day. This abuse stays with them when they go home, and when they return to work the next day.

The latest campaign at Barts Health NHS Trust reinforces that violence and abuse will not be tolerated in our hospitals by shining a light on some of the names our people have been called.

Internally, our campaign encourages staff to report the incidents they experience and to break the normalisation that happens when something becomes routine.
