NHS Change Day 2013

NHS Change Day is aiming to bring together the innovative thoughts thousands of NHS staff to improve care for patients, their families and their carers.

Here at Psychology Associates we are supporting Dr Alys Cole-King and her pledge to share the message that we can get through distress and suicidal thoughts.

Alys along with her colleagues recently devised the new College of Emergency Medicine Mental Health Toolkit which promotes compassionate assessments of anyone who attends ED with suicidal thoughts or following self-harm. The tool kit was launched at the College of Emergency Medicine at the end of February and can be viewed here.

As of 10.30am this morning over 130,000 pledges had already been made. You can read more the pledges and messages of support here.

We’d love to support further pledges aiming to tackle mental health issues so please let us know your pledge by commenting below.
