Trustee and Churchill Fellow Rory Keddie Explores International Suicide Prevention Models

We’re deeply grateful to The Churchill Fellowship for giving our trustee, Rory Keddie, the opportunity to learn from international practices in suicide prevention and bring these insights back to help strengthen our work at Olly’s Future.

Rory’s Fellowship has focused on tackling the educational gap in suicide prevention for medical professionals — an area that lies at the heart of our mission. Through his travels and research, Rory has explored innovative approaches being used around the world to equip healthcare workers with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support those in crisis.

His findings will help inform and enhance the work we do to make suicide prevention training more accessible and effective for medical students, doctors and other professionals across the UK.

We’re incredibly proud of Rory and all he has achieved through this Fellowship. His dedication, compassion and drive to create meaningful change continue to inspire our whole team.
