Student pharmacists and mental health nurses training together in suicide prevention: Health Services Research and Pharmacy Practice Conference

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Suicide prevention is a Government priority and affects every sector of society. The role of mental health nurses (MHN) in suicide prevention is more obvious than that of pharmacists. However, the requirement for suicide prevention training in community pharmacy staff has been incentivized in England through its inclusion in the Pharmacy Quality Scheme. There is no standardized requirement for suicide prevention training in the MPharm degree so we curated an interprofessional education (IPE) session involving pharmacy and MHN students in order to learn about suicide prevention in a mutually beneficial way.
