Summary
The QES Suicide Surveillance system, initially developed in partnership with Thrive LDN and South Yorkshire, enables multi-agency collaboration to understand, derive lessons from, and take action to reduce suicides. The range of information inputted into the system by multi-agency partners at a local level (i.e. police, ambulance, mental health services) facilitates the tying together of a series of small details to provide one comprehensive view of circumstances surrounding a suspected or attempted suicide.
This collection of real-time information from partners is essential in the ability to learn from, and react to, emerging patterns and trends in suicide. This ultimately delivers the integral and unique opportunity to identify risk factors and prevent further tragedies on a local, regional and national level.
The QES Suicide Surveillance system has been designed by our clients, with user experience and reporting in mind, to make a leap forwards towards achieving a zero-suicide ambition.
