Paramedics to be given body cameras to protect them from violent patients Paramedics will be given body cameras in a bid to protect them from violent patients.
Ministers said the measures to counter soaring levels of violence would help to prevent crimes against staff and bring attackers to justice.
They said the protection was part of a wider package of support to healthcare workers, including quicker access to mental health help, and physiotherapy.
In an initial pilot, 465 ambulances and their paramedics will be equipped with body cameras, with potential for a full rollout to all such staff, and other workers who suffer threats from patients. The Daily Telegraph
