tweetchats
3 years of suicide prevention tweetchats for world suicide prevention day 10th September 2013 - 2016
In 2016… • Safely, responsibly, compassionately
• Over 190 people took part
• Members of the public, doctors, nurses, AHPs, police
• Range of perspectives & experiences
• Identifying risk, listening, duty of care, stigma, confidence, availability of suicide prevention training
“Old fashioned thinking on suicide still controls many #shame
#criminal etc has to be changed #Illness #NoStigma #NoShame”
“stop supporting the stigma, respond when someone expresses suicidal thoughts, don't have to be
an expert but you have to be human”
“If someone is in hospital after a suicide attempt know that their
family will be in distress too”

record

4. seek to ensure that benefits the service user
5. upon request, present a written profile
Some question for this community…
• How can we support and enable healthcare workers to use social media effectively for learning and development?
• How can we enable more of this to take place at work, and in working hours?
• How do we build the evidence base for social-media in healthcare?
