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.
