Suicide Prevention Scotland

Welcome to season 02 of Time Space Compassion, a podcast from Suicide Prevention Scotland.

In this episode we discuss:
Time Space Compassion and suicide prevention in primary care
Pre and post registration training for GPs and primary care workforce
The role of AHPs in suicide prevention
Giving mental health emergency equal status with physical health emergency
The MH standards
Host Lawrence Broadie is joined by Catherine Totten, previously an Allied Health Practioner advisor to the Scottish Government's Mental Health Directorate and now a Mental Health Lead for the Scottish Ambulance Service. Alongside is Jim Douglas, a GP working with NHS Highland who also leads primary care suicide prevention training.
