Assault isnt part of a paramedics job its a crime (extended online version)
Paramedics are always there to care for people in need. They dont go to work to be punched, kicked, pushed, sworn at or spat on. Its time to join together and find ways to address this behaviour.

This public awareness campaign is not going to solve this problem overnight, but its another step towards helping to stop assaults on our health workers.
