Facing hostile patients, Part 2
In this re-air of our two-part, award-winning podcast series, we discuss how physical violence in the healthcare workplace is on the rise. Healthcare workers are more in danger of violence than are police officers or prison guards. Looking at the labor force in general, healthcare workers have five times the likelihood of facing violence than workers across all other industries. And that doesn’t include the verbal abuse. Clinicians need skills to defuse conflict and hopefully settle down hostilities before they get out of hand. On this episode, Tomas and Cecilia finish their discussion with some helpful tips.

Facing hostile patients, Part 1
Hermes award-winner!
In a special re-air of this award-winning episode, we discuss how the hospital is increasingly becoming a hostile environment, with clinicians facing verbal abuse and physical violence from patients and their families. Clinicians need skills to defuse conflict and hopefully settle down hostilities before they get out of hand. If calming hostilities is not possible, they need to know what to do in the face of violent confrontation. Tomas discusses patient hostility with a leading expert on the topic.
