Understanding the nurse's role in improving suicide prevention
Abstract
This article considers the role of non-specialist nursing staff in suicide prevention. It is not expected that such staff could or should undertake in-depth risk assessment or treatment intervention with suicidal individuals. Rather their importance is in identifying those at potential risk for suicide, and securing specialist assessment and intervention for them.
