NHS patients: have you seen or been the victim of violence during long waiting times in A&E?

silverguide.site –

According to the Royal College of Nursing, incidents of violence against A&E nurses have almost doubled over the last six years, often due to people being frustrated at waiting so long for care. Incidents include nurses being punched, spat at and pinned up against a wall.

We would like to hear from NHS patients and what their experience has been like seeing or being the victim of violence during long waits in A&E. What happened and was the incident reported? If the police were involved, what was the outcome?
