Join us at this afternoon meeting to understand some of the challenges that surround young people and suicide.

We’ll also approach the aspects of the psychological and emotional wellbeing of people living with a loved one who has died by suicide.
what are medicine and me meetings?
The Medicine and me meetings aim to provide an outline of current best practice and future updates of important conditions and to give direct voice to patients and their carers and enable them to discuss their concerns and reflections on the impact of diagnosis, investigation and management. Physicians and surgeons and indeed all Healthcare professionals continue to learn from and be inspired to greater efforts to improve care by hearing directly from patients.
