Had a quick look at the local paper. This was the leading headline. Its particularly potent as this comes only a week after the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) announced the launch of the "Your not alone campaign"
There is a degree of risk that there will be violence and abuse directed to all nurses, be it physical or verbal abuse. Moreoever, the figures do seem to be getting worse. However, as reynolds comments on his blog, sometimes reports are not made as they are seen as being futile. In this case, there are no known witnessess and no discription so it is likely that once again the culprets will get away with their acts. I have no sympathy for people like that, and hope one day they end up with something horrible (and terminal as well).
In many walks of life, safety measures which have been pointed out are sometimes not acted upon untill there has been a fatality. My fear is that there will be such an event before there is any significant action taken by the Department of Health to combat this.
