2<\/sup>Figures are for deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in each calendar year. Due to the length of time it takes to complete a coroner\u2019s inquest, it can take months or even years for a suicide to be registered. More details can be found in the \u2018suicide registrations in the UK\u2019 statistical bulletin at the following link:<\/p>

<\/p>

Data on the average age of death by each occupation is not recorded by the ONS. Deaths registered in England and Wales between 2013 and 2017, indicate the average age of death by suicide was 45 years for medical practitioners and 49 years for dental practitioners.<\/p>

<\/p>

Number of suicides in England and Wales for medical practitioners, deaths registered between 2013 and 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

Due to small numbers of deaths, ONS are unable to provide the average age of death by year for each occupation. When looking at deaths registered in England and Wales between 2013 and 2017, the average age of death was 45 years for medical practitioners and 49 years for dental practitioners. Data on occupation is restricted to those aged 20 to 64 years, those of working age; this impacts the average age of death, something that should be interpreted with caution. The average age of death does not necessarily reflect the age at which people in these professions are at highest risk of suicide, and is not comparable with statistics produced by the ONS on life expectancy in the general population.<\/p>

The health and wellbeing of all our National Health Service staff is a top priority and, in July, NHS England published its NHS staff health and wellbeing framework which complements our recent announcement of quicker access to mental health services such as counselling and talking therapies for staff who need them. This will help deliver our manifesto promise to \u201cintroduce new services for employees to give them the support they need including quicker access to mental health services\u201d.<\/p>

<\/p>

This builds on NHS England\u2019s \u201cCommissioning for Quality and Innovation\u201d incentive scheme encouraging employers to invest in services to help staff stay physically and mentally fit and well and NHS Improvement\u2019s ongoing work in collaboration with the NHS to improve staff health and wellbeing and reduce sickness absence.<\/p>
