Suicide Aware Practice

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

We are in the process of becoming a Suicide Aware Practice

We are trying to improve access to our services for people having thoughts of hurting themselves or ending their life. All our staff have had training in suicide prevention and so you can reach out to anyone at the surgery and ask for help.

We also provide support for anyone affected by the death of someone by suicide. Please contact the surgery if you feel you need help.

If you are having any current thoughts about suicide, then during the hours of 8am–6.30pm Monday to Friday please contact the surgery urgently by ringing us on 023 8067 6233.

Outside of these hours you can:

  • Call 111 and ask for a mental health practitioner
  • Text HANTS to 85258
  • Contact the Samaritans on 116 123 or visit www.samaritans.org

You can access all of the most up-to-date information at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's Help in a Crisis page.
