Raising awareness to prevent workplace violence against healthcare professionals

This case study highlights awareness-raising campaigns to address workplace violence and create safer environments for EU health and social care professionals. It underlines the importance of fostering a culture of respect among patients and the broader public as well as the importance of reporting such incidents.

Integrating such campaigns into comprehensive strategies and securing key stakeholder support can bring about a cultural shift and ensure local relevance. Transferability to other countries must take account of distinct national conditions and healthcare environments.
