‘Don’t take it out on us’: Nurses urge public restraint after surge in violence

The Barbados Nurses Association (BNA) has issued a stern plea to the public, urging them to refrain from directing their frustrations toward healthcare staff following a surge in attacks. BNA President Dr. Fay Parris emphasized that while customer service complaints have placed significant pressure on the profession, there are established procedures for addressing grievances. Her remarks came after a meeting with sister unions and nurses at the National Union of Public Workers headquarters in Dalkeith, St. Michael, where workplace safety was a key topic of discussion.
