Violence and aggression at work.
The issue of violence and aggression towards healthcare personnel has received increasing attention over recent years. Surveys indicate that such behaviour does occur in both hospital and community dental settings, although in comparison, many other healthcare workers appear to be at greater risk. Information and advice to prevent and manage such situations, should they occur, are available.
