The Health and Safety Team have a new message of the month programme.

Their first is focused on ligature prevention and rescue, and our Consultant Nurse for Mental Health, Ian Noonan has worked closely with the team on the content.

Ian said: “Whilst this is an important topic, we recognise that it is a sensitive one. So please read only if it is the right time and place for you to read about our work."

You can read the information on the Health and Safety pages.
