Staff will wear cameras at the Royal Free Hospital, the Barnet Hospital and the Mary Rankin unit at St Pancras Hospital
Nurses at major London hospitals, including the Royal Free Hospital, Barnet Hospital, and the Mary Rankin unit at St Pancras Hospital, are to wear body cameras following a significant increase in patient abuse and violence. The Royal Free London NHS Trust reported 2,834 security incidents in 2024, with 91% involving violence or aggression. The cameras aim to de-escalate situations, reduce disruption, and provide an independent record of incidents.
