Lessons Learning from Bridging Gaps
Collaborative approaches to improving healthcare can be tailored to take account of people’s experiences of trauma. 'Bridging Gaps' is a collaborative project between, NIHR School for Primary Care Research, NIHR ARC West and the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol.
Dr Helen McGeown, one of the authors of the article and Honorary GP Consultant at the Centre for Academic Primary Care, University of Bristol, said:
“Relationships are at the heart of these co-production processes. It’s only by ongoing, long-term relationships with all partners that we hope to achieve delivery of care that is meaningfully ‘trauma-informed’. We call for adequate funding for the delivery of trauma-informed care and highlight the need for longevity of funding.”
