Ensuring our GPs know how to talk about suicide to their patients is crucial. Our wonderful trainers went to Princess Royal University Hospital in Orpington, Kent, recently to deliver ‘Talking about Suicide:10 Tools’ to trainee and newly qualified GPs.

Olly’s Future trainers Christina Watson and Cristina La Cara prepare for a face-to-face TAS10 training session for GP trainees in the London Borough of Bromley. They are photographed smiling outside the Princess Royal University Hospital in Orpington, Kent, with an ambulance in the background. Talking about Suicide:10 Tools (TAS:10) is a 90 mins CPD certified suicide prevention training course. Participants learn ten tools and the confidence and competence to have a potentially life-saving conversation with a peer or a future patient who may be thinking of suicide and keep them 'safe for now'. https://ollysfuture.org.uk/tas10/

For the fifth year running, we've delivered Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical Students) to Year 2 medical students at Kent and Medway Medical School. @kmmsmedschool.bsky.social

Graphic showing smiling ‎medical students with the logos of Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical & Health Care Students) and Olly's Future Suicide prevention and wellbeing training for future medical and health professionals. A quote from Dr Julia Hynes, Associate Professor in Medical Education at Kent & Medway Medical School reads "We are most grateful to the Dr SAMS team for offering the sessions our year 2 students and to Kent County Council for making this possible through funding." The graphic shows the two parts of the Dr SAMS programme, each of 90 minutes. Part one is TAS:10 (Talking about suicide 10 tools) which is CPD certified and was developed by Ann Feloy of Olly's Future with Rose Rowkins of Start the Conversation. Part two is CareSpace 10 techniques for wellbeing which guides students on self-care and self-compassion.

We believe that all medical students should receive suicide prevention training as part of their core curriculum to look after themselves, their peers and their future patients. There should also be a statutory Duty of Care for them as well as all students, which currently does not exist.
