We've been delivering our Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical Students) two-part training to medical schools and universities across England and Wales for the past five years, with the support of the British Medical Association.

If you would like your healthcare organisation's students or health care providers to take part in suicide prevention training, and learn how to take care of themselves and colleagues, get in touch with linda@ollysfuture.org.uk

The two-part training course encompasses our suicide awareness & prevention training Talking About Suicide: 10 Tools (TAS10) and the self-care guidance session Carespace (10 Techniques for Wellbeing) and can be delivered online or face-to-face.

DrSAMS provides vital suicide prevention and wellbeing training for medical, nursing and health care students to look after themselves, their peers and their future patients.
