Healthcare professionals are more likely to be attacked on the job than any other service professional. Statistics on violence in healthcare workplace settings – prior to covid intervening – indicate that in the problem is rapidly escalating. But, the data is poor, and the reasons aren’t entirely clear yet.

That the data is still poor on such an important topic and funding for change still relatively low is probably some indication that the issue is still being treated by some policy makers as an “it goes with these professions” type of problem.

Without more support from government and policy makers, some of the issues that exist around violence in the healthcare workplace are going to be difficult to fix. But, within the realms of a hospital, a medical practice, an aged care facility and other hotspot locations, there are some things that staff and their administrators can and are doing to move the dial on the problem.

In this webinar we are going to look at what technology is emerging that can help, and where it fits in the context of a very big and complex problem. We will start by trying to get a summary of the bigger problem and all the things that are being done to address it.
