Dr. Warren Larkin of the UK and Becky Haas from the US will be hosting the Global Resiliency Accelerator on Monday, November 13 from 12-2 p.m. EST. This session will focus on Trauma Informed Healthcare practices in both the UK and US. Presenters Include: Alistair Christie and Kelly Laycock from the UK and Sarah Seldon from the US.
Alistair is the BLOSM Service Lead at the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trauma (CHFT). Since qualifying as a nurse in 2016, he has worked within the Emergency Departments at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. He has always been passionate about improving the way service supports service users accessing services who have complex social presentations. Working alongside community colleagues he has supported the development of the CHFT High Intensity User Service, identifying people regularly attending the Emergency Department and working closely with community services to provide appropriate support. Over the last 12 months he has led the development and implementation of the BLOSM service across CHFT. Alistair will be speaking on CHFT BLOSM service which has been funded through the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership and the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership. Our service has been developed to introduce a trauma informed approach to emergency care across CHFT. Our focus is identifying the impact of trauma on our population and offering a multi-agency response to improve outcomes for service users and reduce demand on acute services.
