Two recent assaults on Sunshine Hospital staff is two too many. Minister @JennyMikakos and Western Health Chair @Bronwyn_Pike, is the Board meeting urgently to plan how to better meet your moral and legal obligations to ensure staff safety? Is @WorkSafe_Vic involved?

Has been working @western_health since 2016. Walked to car and brutally assaulted by 4 men, punched, kicked. Walked to car under knifepoint then car, wallet, keys & phone stolen. Facial fractures. Hospital blames him for not using carpark

[Jessica @jessithinks]

SHOCKED! Colleague at Sunshine Hospital (VIC) attacked & assaulted after working ED shift 😟

Instead of apologising & offering emergency assistance, @western_health blamed him for not using the staff carpark 🤬

RT to demand a safer workplace & to put an end to victim blaming 🤐

We have lost another colleague.

The ripples are felt far &wide.

Please if you are feeling helpless or without hope make the call.

You are loved

You have more worth than your job/title

“Aren’t you better yet?” - Hear from a panel of professionals at the #crazysocks4docs panel discussion, on the pressures on doctors to return work with minimal recovery period.

"You hear about registrars who have 500-700 hours' worth of sick leave and they aren't taking it and they don't take it over years because if you take a sick day you are expected to be actually in hospital to be sick enough."

If you are a junior doctor bullied, overworked. Dont wait till you break, get help early - there will be always more work and the hospital will never stop asking more of you, but there will never be another you. Thank you to @ABCthedrum for having me and this important topic

@ReniPaj Name the place :)

Burnout? Unsafe rosters? Bullying?

ILLEGAL. No need to sugar-coat it.

Perpetrators (medical admin, roster coordinators, head of departments, supervisors) need to be SACKED. #MH4Docs @RACSurgeons @WomenSurgeons @surg
