Many comments on misuse of “mental capacity” when patients are suicidal refer to the MCA. But the issue is more about professional culture, it sits alongside assumptions about being “in control”, “behavioural”, etc. It has a long history.

“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul.” We talk a lot in #SuicidePrevention about hopelessness, less about the uniquely human feeling of hope, and how it protects us. So, for no other reason, Emily Dickinson’s unforgettable poem. poetryfoundation.org/poems/42889/ho…

We should routinely ask about gambling - as with alcohol/drugs - in health checks & mental health assessments. NICE guidance out for consultation. Risk from gambling highlighted in new national #suicideprevention strategy.

Interesting that Ireland has so many more registered nurses and midwives per head or population than the UK does

"There's never going to be enough resources for what we need, how can things improve in mental health services?" 👇 Dr Chloe Beale is on hiatus 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ says we need to see honesty, co-production not tokenism, working with the third sector and refusing to be complicit. #NSPAConf

My key messages National Suicide Prevention Alliance conference •suicide rate shows no recent rise but no fall either •rise in young people in past decade seems to have levelled off •concern over impact of economic stress •comprehensive national strategy in place, task = making it happen.

New “real-time” suicide rates out this week, taking us to June 2024. After concerns over 2023 rates & cost of living stresses, no sign that rates are currently rising. Office for Health Improvement and Disparities

What can we say about #SuicidePrevention in ADHD? Our figs NCISH show rise in suicide by ADHD patients (graph), now 40 deaths/yr, probably reflecting shift in diagnosis rather than increasing risk. Frontline staff say this is new, they don’t feel they have the skills.

Our 2024 NCISH Annual Report is available on our website. We have also produced: - An executive summary - An easy read version - A key messages sheet - A key messages sheet for service users Easy to share with NCISH acknowledged as the source sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/reports/…

New real-time national figures for suicide, taking us to August 2024. A rise in males earlier in the year raised concerns about economic risk. But it has reversed this month & may simply have been seasonal variation. Office for Health Improvement and Disparities

Female nurses have a high suicide rate. Our new report NCISH finds workplace & financial stresses & low rate of help-seeking from MH services they work alongside.

New real-time suicide data have been published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, taking us to October 2024. National suicide rate isn’t rising - important at time of economic stress for many. No rise in men, women or any age group. Although, needless to say, no rate is acceptable. #suicideprevention
