Next week is NHS Change Day. It is, as the promotional literature describes it “the largest ever simultaneous improvement event in the NHS, mobilising 65,000 colleagues into a single day of collective improvement action”.
The key purpose of the day on Wednesday (March 13) is “to make a difference for patients and to do something better together”. There are various pledges on how departments and organisations might focus their Change Days. One pledge is around mental health, and more specifically suicide.
The pledge is to share with everyone that it is possible to overcome suicidal thoughts and feelings, and that there are many resources available to help those who are struggling to cope. A key message is that anyone can experience suicidal thoughts and that there is always hope.
