NHS workers have published a video revealing the abuse they have received from patients, including slurs, swearing, racial abuse and threats of legal action. 

The 90-second video by NHS Lanarkshire begins with a montage showing people clapping in March 2020, before the words “August 2021” appear on the screen, with staff recounting abuse they have received in the months between. 

The explicit video features front-line staff such as Sharon Ghani, of Burnbrae Medical Practice in Shotts.
