Lone Worker Safety Live Conference
With 1 in 7 NHS staff reporting being assaulted at work, and 1 in 4 verbally abused during the last 12 months, violence and aggression can leave lasting effects on staff wellbeing. But it is not just an issue in the NHS, many sectors have seen an increase in aggression against frontline staff.

Timely, compassionate support is essential to help people feel safe. This session will share expert guidance on post incident support from Matt Hall CMIOSH with real-world, practical examples from the NHS that can be used in any sector.
