ALMOST ten thousand NHS workers in Greater Glasgow and Clyde have been injured at work in recent years.
But Scottish health board figures show the number is coming down.
Injuries include anything from physical violence, assault, staff knocked unconscious or punctures from dirty needles to slips, trips and falls, fractured bones and infections.
There were more than 35,000 reported injuries to NHS employees while at work in Scotland between 2011 and 2013, figures uncovered by the Liberal Democrats show.
Greater Glasgow and Clyde staff had suffered 9,583 of the injuries.
