NHS staff in Northamptonshire victims of abuse, bullying and harassment Nearly a quarter of NHS staff at Northamptonshire Healthcare Trust experienced bullying, harassment or abuse from patients last year, figures show.

The Government has announced new measures to better protect health service staff in England, calling for a ‘zero tolerance’ approach.

Responses to the latest NHS Staff Survey show that 23% of workers at the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Trust said they had experienced bullying, harassment or abuse from patients, relatives or members of the public in 2017. Daventry Express
