Suffering abuse on the wards

A former mental health nurse has been awarded £825,000 after she suffered physical abuse from her patients.

The 38-year-old carer has lost some movement in one of her arms and suffered muscle damage to her neck, meaning she can’t work again.

There are many cases of abuse in hospitals and mental homes which never reach the wider public.

Approach your local health centres and hospitals to see if they will highlight the problem of physical abuse against staff.
