Second plenary on “relational care in the context of suicidality”
Suite of interventions related to embedding a missingness lens - more info here: https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/healthwellbeing/research/generalpractice/research/missingnessinterventions/
How might we embed a “missingness lens” to healthcare
Slide describing causes of missingness: access issues, limited resources/competing demands, mistrust…
The causes of “missingness” are multiple and complex… but it is not inevitable and services can adapt…
Andrea standing in front of a slide, which defines “missingness" as the repeated tendency not to take up offers of care such that it has a negative impact on the person and their life chances
The first joint conference between @qniscotland.bsky.social and the Scottish Deep End Project has started!
Prof Andrea Williamson with opening plenary on “missingness” - a strong risk marker for poor health outcomes
We need more investment in general practice, with a focus on relational continuity of care
