Description

Assaults on NHS staff in England have surged by 20% from 2022 to 2024, with over 15,000 incidents reported. Mental health trusts are the hardest hit, with Mersey Care reporting over 8,000 cases last year alone. One in seven staff faced physical violence, and one in twelve dealt with unwanted sexual behavior. Trusts are pushing for better reporting and security, while nurses leaders blame long waits and pressures. The violence has cost the NHS millions in payouts and staff absences.
