Our first article for this year is already online – it comes from Pooja Saini, a researcher and Chartered Psychologist at the University of Liverpool, currently involved in suicide prevention research. In this blog post, Pooja shares her research and describes what role GPs and Primary Care providers can play in suicide prevention.
