Experts from the NHS, Metropolitan Police Service, and Crown Prosecution Service are working together to improve the prosecution rates of criminal investigations following assaults on NHS workers.
The pilot scheme, called Operation Cavell, will help to protect health workers on the frontline. The operation will ensure senior investigators review all crimes against NHS workers and will use the experience of specialised and dedicated police investigators.
