£21,500 damages awarded to assaulted NHS Staff Nurse
A nurse has been awarded over GBP 21,000 damages after being attacked twice by the same patient.
Staff nurse Lucia Johnson was attacked by the male patient at Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital in December 2002 and again the following July. In the first attack she received injuries to her nose and hand after having objects thrown at her, in the second she was punched in the face and shoulder.
"He was often violent, but in spite of the complaints made by members of staff he was not removed to a more secure unit where more members of staff would have been available to supervise or medicate him," Ms Johnson said.
West London Mental Health NHS Trust said the settlement of GBP 21,500 was agreed through the NHS Litigation Authority.

Physical Intervention Staff Training - Whose responsibility is it? By Martin Farrow
A recent conversation with an event security staff provider left me somewhat speechless, after discussing the issue of physical intervention - or to be more precise the use of force by security staff engaged in event security operations. He concluded that although it was inevitable that on occasions his staff may have to resort to the use of physical force to deal with a violent situation, they have never actually received formal training in the subject because the company insurance does not cover staff to use physical force!
