Doctors and health and care workers who have died by suicide are being remembered in the UK's first national suicide memorial day.

It has been organised by the mental health service NHS Practitioner Health and charity Doctors in Distress, to raise awareness of the pressures faced by medical staff and the need to protect mental well-being.
