Workplace Bullying in the NHS

This essential guide tackles the pervasive issue of workplace bullying with a specific focus on the high-pressure environment of the National Health Service. Drawing directly from academic research and real-world case studies, the book provides concrete, practical advice for both intervention and prevention strategies. It moves beyond simply identifying the problem to offer healthcare professionals and administrators actionable guidelines for creating safer, more respectful workplaces.

What sets this resource apart is its unflinching look at the systemic and interpersonal dynamics unique to healthcare settings, where hierarchies and stress can exacerbate toxic behavior. It serves as a vital toolkit for NHS staff at all levels—from frontline nurses and junior doctors to managers and HR personnel—equipping them to recognize, confront, and ultimately dismantle bullying culture for the well-being of the entire workforce.
