self-harm registry

The Self-Harm Registry collects data from hospital Emergency Departments across Northern Ireland in relation to attendances due to self-harm and/or thoughts of self-harm/suicide. 

The purpose of the registry is to improve understanding about self-harm and related behaviours in Northern Ireland. The information gathered will be used to monitor trends and patterns over time and, perhaps most importantly, will help shape the development of services and support to meet need. The information will also help provide trusts and the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety with a more accurate understanding of the impact of self-harm on Emergency Departments.
