Mental Health & Patient Deaths from Suicide; what are the key issues?

Join us on 25 November 2025 when we will be looking at patient deaths linked to mental health care in the clinical and prison setting, including patient safety recommendations, examples of good practice, and our claims experiences.

Charlotte Millar (Partner) and Laura Hartwell (Principal Associate) are thrilled to be joined by Nichola Crust, Senior Safety Investigator at HSSIB and together they will be looking at:

  • Key findings and recommendations from HSSIB’s January 2025 report: “Mental health inpatient settings: Creating conditions for learning from deaths in mental health inpatient services and when patients die within 30 days of discharge”
  • Common challenges and sharing good practice
  • Case examples from the Courts and what this means for NHS organisations
  • Trends in clinical negligence claims including risk assessments, observations, and Human Rights Act Claims.

This webinar will be of interest to medical professionals of any level or field of expertise within NHS Trusts, private healthcare and general practice that have links to mental health care. It will also be of use to those responsible for complaint, incident and claims investigations.
