Suicidal intent

Balvinder Thiara Staff agency nurse, Gloucestershire, England

A CPD article improved Balvinder Thiara’s knowledge of the assessment of patients with suicidal intent

In my role as a psychiatric nurse caring for individuals at risk to themselves or others, I found the continuing professional development article interesting and informative. I have cared for adults, children and young people in a variety of settings, including emergency departments, acute care wards and mental health hospitals. All of the general hospitals where I work have mental health liaison teams that assess each individual’s mental health presentation and develop a plan of action.
