🆕 Partners advance SAFXR: a new immersive approach to suicide prevention training and workforce mental health
Dr Karen Wetherall and I are delighted to be involved in SAFXR (Safety Planning for Suicide Prevention XR).
SAFXR is an innovative immersive learning solution that aims to transform how professionals respond to people experiencing suicidal thoughts, while also supporting their own mental health and resilience.
SAFXR, which began development in July 2025, is a collaborative project led by Care Reality in partnership with NHS Education for Scotland (NES), the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI), and the Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab (SBRL) at the University of Glasgow. The project brings together expertise in immersive technology, clinical education, suicide prevention research, and lived experience insight.
SAFXR is supported by funding from Innovate UK (IUK) through the Mindset Extended Reality (XR) funding programme, which aims to advance immersive digital therapeutics for mental health across the UK.
Professor Rory O’Connor, Director of the Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab at the University of Glasgow said:
“We’re delighted to be involved in this important innovation to enhance safety planning training for people who are suicidal. Making use of the latest immersive technologies, SAFXR will enhance existing suicide prevention efforts as we work together to tackle the scourge of suicide.”

The latest polling is clear: the public's support for #FairPayForNursing is unwavering.
Share this far and wide to remind your colleagues who we're doing this for - our patients, and they are with us.
If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.
The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.
I am pleased to share this patient-led article on psychosis in pregnancy, to be published in @SchizBulletin.

Outrageous
• MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “Pressed duck leg and caper terrine with celeriac & mustard remoulade
& sour dough toast” — Cost: £4.52 (subsidised by you).
• NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £7.25 (paid by NHS nurses).
Can we function without Nurses?
No.
Can anyone get a job as a nurse?
No.
Do we have enough nurses?
No.
Should we pay nurses fairly, retain staff and improving staffing levels.
Yes.
Retweet if you agree!
