Suicide Prevention Training for Pharmacists

Suicide has a devastating impact on families, friends and whole communities. Pharmacists, due to their role and their accessibility in the community, have the potential to play a key role in recognising the signs and symptoms of suicide, restricting means and keeping the person safe until support is available. 

This suicide prevention training for pharmacists is an interactive, case-based workshop enabling peer discussion alongside the development of practical skills.
