It has led to faster connections with appropriate services, reduced unnecessary hospital visits, and improved continuity of care.

Almost 24,000 people are diagnosed with Crohn's or Colitis each year. That's about 66 people every day. These are just some of the symptoms they could experience, showing how Crohn’s and Colitis can affect people in so many ways.

A privilege to evaluate NIs first hospital-based violence reduction intervention. Led by @eayouthservice, the youth workers supported very vulnerable young people and reduced pressure on the health system. @QUBSSESW @QUBPolicy @ZaraQuigg @wmaaloufun

If you are concerned that someone you know may be suicidal, please ask them directly whether they have been thinking about suicide.
It could save a life #TimeToTalk
