The relationship between continuing professional education and horizontal violence in perioperative practice.
Continuing professional development must be undertaken by all registered perioperative practitioners. However, interviews with 23 perioperative nurses employed by one NHS trust suggested a link between workplace culture and intra-professional conflict which was associated with horizontal violence and perceived as a direct consequence of formal study. Such experiences appeared to affect participants' study and their psychological wellbeing. Further work is required to explore this concept.
