Well before the COVID-19 pandemic, incivility and physical threats directed toward healthcare employees, and often registered nurses, were growing concerns by Chief Nurse Executives. Conversations initiated by The Beryl Institute’s Nurse Executive Council to consider how best to achieve a much-needed balance between patient/family and staff safety have now become a critical priority to ensure the safety of everyone receiving and providing healthcare services. This interactive session brings together the authors of the 2021 PXJ article, Rebuilding a foundation of trust: A call to action in creating a safe environment for everyone, addressing the issues of incivility and the possibilities we see. Participants will be invited to join in a dialogue on the paper’s insights and engage in a conversation on how we best care for our healthcare workforce in today’s challenging environment.
