In all my years as a GP, I have not come across a better source of comprehensive, practical evidence-based knowledge about suicide. It should be mandatory reading for medical students and primary care staff and will most certainly form part of our core library. - Dr Kate Whitfield MRCHP, DRGOG, DPM. Retired GP partner and trainer, Macmillan Palliative Care adviser.
Sometimes the conversations we see as the most challenging are the ones we need to have most. Asking about suicide does not lead a person to start thinking about it. Talking about suicide can help prevent it, and can start a life-saving conversation. This timely book provides the tools to build the confidence of health and social care professionals across sectors to talk about suicide, identify and support those at risk, and tackles the stigma that sadly still surrounds the issue. - Paul Farmer CBE, CEO of Mind.
