NHS leaders across London are joining together to condemn violence against staff.

In 2020, just over 16,000 staff reported they’d experienced physical violence at work over the past 12 months.

Health leaders met on Monday to discuss the reasons for abuse and preventative measures.

Jacqueline Totterdell, Head of St George’s, Epsom and St Helier, says it’s the actions of a “small but rising group” that needs challenging.
