Jay’s mum, Paula Mart, has influenced and guided the development of the toolkit from the outset. At the event, participants will have the opportunity to hear more about Paula and Jay’s story, and how their experiences inspired and shaped the creation of this new toolkit.“If my daughter had a personalised safety plan and had known what to do when she was in difficulty, I am convinced she would have been with us today. This is why I am so passionate about this work, and Jaymie’s spirit is my inspiration. A personalised safety plan goes so much deeper than just a piece of paper. It holds the hope for someone.”Paula MartRoadshows and online launchThe launch event in Manchester will be hosted by the NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration (GM PSRC), as a part of a series of roadshows this spring in different cities in the North of England, such as Carlisle, Newcastle, Teesside, Sunderland and West Cumbria.
