This quality improvement project evaluated the impact of implementing the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's guidelines on managing violence and aggression and Brøset Violence Checklist in a psychiatric setting. Results showed a significant increase in early identification and management of potential violence, along with a 65% clinical reduction in weekly violent incidents. Attendees will learn how evidence-based screening tools can enhance safety and care outcomes.
