Preventing and managing aggression and violence in the NHS

Anthony Bleetman et al. Hosp Med. 2003 Dec.

Abstract

Streaming in emergency departments reduces waiting times and stress, and removes the causes of most violent attacks against staff. In spite of this some people will still attack staff. Staff must be protected by a sound trust policy and effective and realistic training, monitored by a good reporting system.
