ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides a more optimistic view as they use the findings of a survey of bullying of qualified healthcare staff to provide the framework for a series of individual case studies. It shows how the thoughts and feelings from student interviews carried out in 2000–2001 were also evident in the more completed large-scale survey of diploma- and degree-trained students in 2004–2005. The results of this survey identified the prevalence and nature of the most frequently reported bullying behaviours. The book considers bullying from a trainer's perspective. It suggests that trainers need to be aware of student learning styles and how they interact with adopting new ideas. The book introduces some of the concepts and practices that can, if professionally delivered, help victims to begin to fight back against the bullies.
