🚧 Minor Road disruption on our Trust site – Thursday 11 September

Please be aware that there may be some disruption to our site road tomorrow (Thursday, 11 September) whilst some essential maintenance is taking place on one of our wards.

This will mean that the road which runs round the rear of site may be affected whilst the equipment is on site.

🕢 Start time: 7.30am

🚗 The road - which runs behind the wards and which has two lanes will be down to one lane for a short period whilst the powered access vehicle is manoeuvred into place.

The works are expected to be completed within the day. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Suicidal thoughts can be interrupted.

💬 60% of people surveyed by Samaritans said their suicidal thoughts had been interrupted by someone close to them, like a friend or family member. 14% said their suicidal thoughts had been interrupted by a stranger or someone they didn’t know.

❤ One conversation could mean all the difference. Visit the Samaritans website to find out how you can interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts: https://samaritans.org/WSPD

💬 Start a conversation this .

Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by su***de and 1 in 4 of us has had suicidal thoughts.

Starting a conversation could save someone's life.

🔎 Spot the signs: Someone might be experiencing suicidal thoughts if they are becoming avoidant or distant, not wanting to do things they usually enjoy, not replying to messages or appearing more restless and agitated.

❤ Show you care: Choose a good time to talk and allow them to build trust with you. Ask questions like "How are things? I've noticed you don't seem yourself", and it's important be a good listener, too.

💬 If you're concerned, it's OK to ask about suicidal thoughts. It's normal to feel anxious, but asking directly could save someone's life.

If someone appears to be struggling, you can offer to help them to get help. Ask if they have seen their GP, or let them know that there are people who they can talk to without judgement - like Samaritans.

Remember - showing you care can make all the difference. ❤

🧠 If you're having suicidal thoughts, you can call Samaritans for free on 116 123.

☎️ In an emergency, or if someone has tried to harm themselves, don't hesitate to call 999.

𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 (𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗗) 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿

🗣 September is FASD Awareness Month and today marks International FASD Day - an opportunity to highlight the importance of going 𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 throughout the nine months of pregnancy.

FASD stands for 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿, a term used to describe the range of lifelong disabilities that can result from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

❌ 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗗 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, the safest approach is to avoid alcohol entirely to minimise risks to your baby.

Today at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, colleagues have been raising awareness across the Trust about the importance of ‘Not Risking It’ during pregnancy.

ℹ️ Information displays can be found in the main entrance of our Scarsdale Wing and in our Antenatal Clinic waiting room.
