The article discusses the need for the National Health Service (NHS) England to develop initiatives that would promote occupational safety and prevent workplace accidents instead of focusing on settlement of compensation claims. Topics explored include the NHS compensation payments and legal costs recorded in 2016, common workplace injuries reported by NHS staff, and the provision of training that would help prevent accidents in the workplace.
