Understanding and delivering trauma informed care
Trauma-informed care – sometimes termed practice - is a whole system approach that recognises, understands and responds to both the prevalence and impact of trauma (and adversity) in a way that seeks to cause no further harm.
This session will seek to explore the topic of trauma informed care and how it can be applied to the context of the accident and emergency department with a focus on the care and treatment received by people with mental health needs.
You will hear from speakers including from Sussex Health and Care who have developed a Trauma Informed Framework in July 2025 as well as other speakers to be announced.
This webinar forms part of our Interface Improvement Programme, which is being jointly delivered by the NHS Confederation and NHS England's Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) Team.
