Staying Safe from Suicide

Guidance into Practice Webinar

Tuesday 24 June 2025, 9:30am to 11am 

In April 2025. NHS England published essential guidance to support reduction in suicide, a government commitment.

The guidance, aimed at all mental health practitioners in England, sets out that a focus on suicide “risk prediction” is flawed, and that this guidance’s alterative approach based on formulation and safety management will save lives.

This webinar will take you briefly through the guidance [Staying safe from suicide: Best practice guidance for safety assessment, formulation and management] and importantly will support you in implementing it in your own organisation and work. 

The webinar is free to attend and is open to NHS, private and charity sectors, as the guidance applies to all.  ‘Staying Safe from Suicide’ is based on the latest research and was written in conjunction with people with lived experience.

When you attend you will hear from:

  • front line practitioners who have already embedded this guidance
  • people with lived experience
  • colleagues who are developing our Staying Safe from Suicide E-Learning training tools.

No registration is required. Please add the event and joining link to your calendar.

The workforce report 2022

Source: The King’s Fund Health Management and Policy Alert

This report finds that the number of doctors joining the workforce overall has grown by around 17 per cent over the past five years, but that growth is not consistent. It varies considerably between different groups of doctors, leaving a shortfall in primary care that puts at risk patients’ ability to access GP services. The number of specialty and associate specialty (SAS) and locally employed (LE) doctors on the GMC register has increased at six times the rate of GPs, largely driven by doctors coming from overseas. Current rules actively prevent these doctors from working in areas such as primary care, and the GMC is proposing the government change the Performers List criteria to allow more doctors to work in general practice.
