How Emergency Departments deal with Self-Harm

Research has found that people who present to Emergency Departments following an episode of self-harm sometimes do not receive the care they need.  It has also been found that some people leave the Emergency Department before being assessed by a clinician.  The voices of service users are key to understanding how responses and outcomes may be improved.  Researchers at the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Trinity College Dublin, in partnership with 3Ts, are seeking to interview people (aged 18 and over) in the Republic of Ireland about their experiences of presenting to the Emergency Department following an episode of self-harm or suicidal behaviour.  For more information and/or to participate, contact Dr Louise Doyle at Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
