Revisioning distress and suicidality in women nurses

Research. Action. Justice.

29 million nurses worldwide
90% of NHS nurses are women
The suicide rate amongst women nurses is 23% higher than women in other occupations

Our aim

In this groundbreaking and transformative project, we are working with nurses, for nurses, to revision the ways in which nurse distress and suicidality are articulated and understood.

We will be inviting nurses from all four nations of the United Kingdom, and with diverse backgrounds, to participate in our research across five different studies.

We are an interdisciplinary and ethnically diverse group of researchers with a wide range of nursing, social care and academic backgrounds. We are based at the Universities of Surrey, Birmingham City, Hull, and Keele.
