Doing some work around staff support- horizontal violence should not be happening but sadly it does . If we are to be recognised as a highly skilled patient safety centric profession we are ,we should be supporting one another & leaders need to ensure staff support is at the very heart of nursing

Researchers found that to address the epidemic of mental ill health among HCPs, workers needed:
Targeted MH interventions
Hot food
Rest areas/lockers
Free parking
Essentially staff just need to be valued & treated like human beings.
