.@KateBeed your fab tweet below came into my TL today - it's been wonderful to collaborate with you to help the whole Primary Care team feel more confident and equipped to play their part responding to people at risk of suicide with #compassion #SAFETool coproduced #SafetyPlan
Absolutely loving the new โฆ@4_MentalHealth_โฉ Suicide Awareness in Primary Care. Such a great resource. Iโve had the pleasure to train over 100 Primary Care staff in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough this month and they love it. โฆ@AlysColeKingโฉ โฆ@cpslmindโฉ โฆ

There isnโt a shortage of GPs in the UK, just a shortage of GPs willing to work in the NHS.
Not a week goes by without a GP colleague I know moving to the private sector, another industry or new country because of working conditions in the NHS.
Whatโs the plan to stop this?

Wrong quote @Telegraph โ This is going to hurtโ @BBC . Should have been โ 1 dr in the UK commits suicide every 3 weeks โ. Rates are rising in women in medicine . A national disgrace . Where is the support ? @WIMIN_UK have @KateBeed speaking on this subject at our next mtg !

It can feel scary to ask directly about suicide but if youโre concerned about someone it is the right thing to do.
Watch the full version of this film to guide you through the steps to ASK and keep someone safe: ow.ly/vUiK50G4Y2z

๐ 94 men on average take their own life every week in the UK.
๐Doctors are more likely than the general population to take their own life.
We want every doctor to know - you are not alone. YOD is right here, for you.

Imagine if we were compassionate and believed people in suicidal crisis
-if practitioners stopped arguing with patients about how suicidal they felt
-if we listened, mitigated risks, shared hope and coproduced SafetyPlans to help people build lives worth living

Thinking of Liz today. Miss her so much. Still really hurts that she was in so much pain and I wasnโt able help. There are so many what ifs ๐

Another day where I've been so grateful to have stayingsafe.net
It's so useful when supporting someone virtually to mitiage suicidal thoughts through safety planning. Co production, autonomy, transparency all still possible because of the format.

Just when you think that the Tories can't sink any lower.
No empathy. No compassion. No morals. No humanity. #ShameOnYou

Struggling tonight. Really missing Liz. Not sure if itโs just the general crapness of life at the moment - but I miss my sister. Canโt even say the โdโ word. I say I lost my sister to suicide. Canโt say she d*** cause my head she hasnโt ๐
So yesterday was such a high. Iโm so thrilled and proud of all the work that we do @cpslmind not just training but the incredible work that our Good Life Team, Changing Lives Team, Perinatal and Sanctuary Team do. They make a difference every single day ๐
