Violence in the workplace – The experience of doctors in Great Britain (10th January 2008)
One in three doctors in Great Britain has been a victim of physical or verbal attack in the past year, but most do not report it, research by the BMA indicates today. Around 600 doctors from across Great Britain responded to a BMA survey on their experiences of violence in the workplace in the past year. A third had experienced some form of violence – including threats and verbal abuse – and one in ten had been physically attacked, including being stabbed, kicked, punched, bitten and spat at. Of these, one in three received minor injuries, and one in 20 was seriously injured.
