Bullying App for Remote Health Care Workers

"Bullying is rife throughout workplaces, particularly in the health care sector. A new bullying app has been designed to help nurses and allied health care professionals regardless of where they work", writes Karen Keast. Bullying at work can eradicate your self-esteem and make you feel under-valued, scared, stressed, anxious and depressed. Health care workers working remote locations lack support which can affect their choice of staying on in the workplace in a remote area. 

The CRANAplus Bush Support Services (BSS) bullying app assists health professionals to identify bullying in a remote health workplace and outlines when they should seek help.  It is freely available to download on apple and android devices.
