Webinar: Prioritising Safety in Healthcare to Build Frontline Resilience

According to figures recently shared by NHS England, workplace violence and aggression (WPVA) costs the NHS approximately £1.37 billion each year 🤯

At the end of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), CriticalArc brings together healthcare industry leaders from the UK and Australia to discuss how their respective healthcare organisations are driving operational and cultural changes to prevent, mitigate and respond to workplace violence and aggression within their healthcare environments. Our expert panellists include:

👨 Roger Ringham, Chair of the National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS)

👩 Danielle Austin, ANZ Chapter Chair of the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety (IAHSS)

👩 Kim Hudson, Head of Security at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL)

Roger, Danielle and Kim discuss a range of factors that can breed WPVA, as well as the importance of clinicians and security teams working together to combat WPVA as a clinical issue. Our expert panellists also explain how leveraging innovative technology and reporting data can be leveraged to inform strategies around tackling WPVA to support healthcare teams, thus improving sickness absence and retention and, ultimately, reducing cost-efficiency across diverse healthcare settings ranging from acute to community settings.
