Dear
Colleagues,
I am posting 3 subjects of interest to this group.
(1):-- Suicide
by burning in the South Asian origin population in England and Wales:I
thought this subject would be of interest; This study shows Suicide by burning remains a significant issue in the South
Asian origin working-age population in England and Wales. A prevention strategy
should target working-age people of South Asian origin born abroad as they are
at the highest risk.
(2):-- I draw your attention to a piece by Dr Richard Stone who was a panel member of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry as an adviser to the judge, Sir William Macpherson,
The last two paragraphs has a poignant message for health and social care. In an era where racism has been airbrushed out of Govt health and social care policies, the diminishing emphasis on ethnic data gathering, the Count -Me In Census being the most recent and no significant strategic monitoring or surveillance of the quality of care and experience for BME people (CQC), it could give an impression that the challenges are only with the police.

(3):---- A ground breaking study on Radicalisation will be posted shortly. This subject along with other topical cultural psychiatry themes, feature in our WACP Congress in March. The Newsletter gives more information.
