Janey McGoldrick 

Exploring the role of pharmacists in suicide prevention 


Picture
Janey will speak about an innovative implementation pilot that takes the Lifespan and the National Suicide Prevention Trials approach one step further by focusing on a specific community gatekeeper.  Pharmacists are highly visible health professionals and come into constant contact with those with mental health issues and suicide risk. They are also able to facilitate means restriction and identify risk.

The project was co-designed with pharmacists, and is a collaborative between Black Dog, Curtin University and two peak bodies, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, and funded by Primary Health Tasmania.
 
It is primarily centred around three agreed interventions –
  • suicide prevention training for pharmacists
  • providing resources to pharmacists, including promoting Tas HealthPathways
  • gathering data on means restriction 
Janey McGoldrick is Head of Implementation, Discovery & Innovation at Black Dog Institute, and has over 20 years’ experience piloting, scaling and evaluating education programs across all sectors, in the UK and Australia.
 
Passionate about developing and operationalising strategy and partnerships to support mental health and wellbeing programs, focused on systemic change, Janey thrives on testing evidence-based solutions to complex problems. 

​She is driven to create a mentally healthier world, where evidence-based research is translated into meaningful programs and resources to radically improve our models of care for people in need of help and support.
