Suicide awareness

Resource
Exclusive quality-assured learning resource
Available to RCN members
Applicable for any nurse with a RCN membership
Despite previous Congress debates and UK wide national initiatives on suicide, there remain significant gaps across services, with many registered nurses lacking knowledge and understanding around suicide – knowing what to do, when to share and when to step in.
Who is this resource for?
This resource is aimed at nurses and nursing support workers across all settings and levels of practice, including students of health, social work and care professions.
