Summary
NHS Resolution are raising awareness of the human and financial cost of assault claims. Not all assaults result in a claim for compensation but there is a duty to report all assaults.

Following an assault, staff are more inclined to leave the NHS and employers can struggle to attract and retain talent to work in their organisation
