Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

Lots of people tweeted me afterwards saying they’d been to Ealing and looked for the tree, then felt silly when they realised it didn’t exist. I didn’t think it was silly - I thought there should be a memorial to healthcare professionals who have taken their own lives. 2/3

Today, with huge thanks to Ealing Hospital, we planted a tree - the UK’s only memorial to NHS staff who have died by suicide. May they rest in peace, and may we redouble our efforts to stop it happening ever in the future. 3/3

First Ardern, now Sturgeon: leaders echo ‘dehumanising’ pressures. The world needs these women. We risk a whole generation of women being deterred from politics because of misogyny and abuse. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Today I am in awe of our young people. Their strength and resilience in their recovery journey. On days like this I am grateful for the privilege of my job.

Reminder that speculation about a cause of death can be harmful, causing distress & adding to risk in people already vulnerable. And it is often wrong.

Not everything benefits from being highlighted in the media. It’s important not to make new suicide methods better known, to tackle them under the radar. Even if it looks like nothing is being done. It’s an area of top priority for the national #SuicidePrevention strategy.

#Suicideprevention themes in 2024 that will matter in 2025: •why did suicide rate rise, as reported by ONS? •is media coverage of online risks helping or harmful? •how to stop #AssistedDying debate undermining prevention •can data from campaigners be trusted?

Reminder of how hard Xmas can be for those who have lost someone to suicide. Some of whom have campaigned & transformed public understanding. To them & so many bereaved families, a peaceful Xmas & a hopeful 2025.

Who’d have thought my support for UK’s Online Safety Act would attract so many anonymous warriors who •dismiss online abuse by being abusive online •champion freedom of speech except for those who disagree with them •think protections for children will put children at risk?
