Corrigendum to: Prevalence and prevention of workplace aggression in Australian clinical medical practice.

Conclusions. Many Australian doctors experience workplace aggression. The more widespread adoption of measures that support the prevention and minimisation of aggression in medical practice settings appears necessary. What is known about the topic? The limited research on workplace aggression in Australian medical practice primarily focusses on the prevalence of patient aggression in General Practice. What does this paper add? Current evidence is provided on the extent of workplace aggression directed towards Australian doctors from multiple sources and the implementation of workplace aggression prevention and minimisation strategies in diverse clinical settings. What are the implications for practitioners? More concerted efforts need to be undertaken to ensure that effective aggression prevention and minimisation strategies are implemented in medical practice. PMID: 23731965 [PubMed - in process]
