Following a successful first wave of training, NCL Integrated Care System is releasing 70 more Suicide Awareness and Response e-learning spaces for clinical primary care staff.

The training is designed to equip clinical primary care staff with the knowledge and tools to navigate a conversation about suicidal thoughts. The training and use of SAFETool™ are fully compliant with recent NHS Staying safe from suicide guidance. Training can be completed at your own pace in approximately three and a half hours.

In the first wave of training:

• 97% of staff felt more confident to assess a person in distress or with suicidal thoughts
• 100% knew more about how to coproduce a Supported Safety Plan using SAFETool

"I found the course very helpful […] feeling empowered to provide support whilst recognising when and where to refer patients on for further support/signposting as required." – Islington Advanced Clinical Practitioner

You will receive a certificate for completion, evidencing further professional development. Once you have completed the training, you are also invited to attend an optional workshop to ask any further questions.
