Healthcare workers are at an increased risk of both fatal and non fatal injuries, due to a number of various factors ranging from violence within the workplace to apparatus being placed carelessly such as syringes and needles. However, recent research has found that there has been a decrease in medical and mental healthcare, and instead there is a high increase in the use of hospitals for severely disturbed violent cases, severe mental illness, drug abuse, or other types of out-of-the- ordinary behaviours by some patients. This form of violence is increasing in severity and frequency, in areas such as pharmacies, hospitals and community care facilities, and has now become a seemingly never-ending problem. It has been proposed that a resolution to such a problem would be to restrict the premature discharge of the chronically mentally ill from professional care services.
