Doctors say better support is needed for self-harm patients

Doctors say better support is needed for self-harm patients Self-harm patients need to receive better care after they are hospitalised to reduce their risk of suicide, doctors have warned.

Oxford University researchers tracked almost 50,000 self-harm patients in England for up to 15 years.

They found suicide rates were 55 times higher among such patients in the year after being hospitalised, compared to the general population. The Daily Mail
