VIDEO - Suicide in the North: Inequalities, Research, Action
In June 2025, the Northern Health Science Alliance held its Mental Health network meeting, where Professor Nav Kapur of the University of Manchester and Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, delivered an impactful presentation around the inequalities in suicide, and actionable approaches to tackling the suicide crisis. Professor Kapur is a nationally recognised leader in suicide prevention and mental health research. He is also Director of the National Confidential Enquiry into Suicide and Safety of Mental Health.
The Northern Mental Health Network
We bring together world class clinical, academic and industry experts across the North of England in the field of mental health through the NHSA’s Northern Mental Health Network.
Convened by the NHSA, the network coordinates activities at a northern level, facilitates knowledge sharing, seeks funding for pan-northern initiatives and raises visibility of the North’s excellence in the field of mental health to Government, health policy makers, industry and international collaborators.
The Northern Mental Health Network has over 80 registered members, including representation from all the northern mental health trusts and the majority of our university members. We have recently engaged regional and national organisations such as the national NIHR Mental Health Implementation Network (MHIN), the northern NIHR ARCs, NIHR CRNs, and selected northern ICP mental health leads
