Here in the U.K. we are working with a General Practice looking at TIC and in particular the enquiring and responding aspects referred to in an earlier post. When we started our general work on the enquiry aspects we had the privilege of being advised by John Read which was extremely useful. This current project is in partnership with the University of Bangor - and again we really value the guidance from Professor Mark Bellis who is Honorary Professor in Public Health at Bangor University, Director of Policy, Research and Development for Public Health Wales, and Chair of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Violence Prevention.
We are currently undertaking the background work and hope that the G.P. team will begin to enquire directly about ACE/trauma in December this year. Whilst this is early days I am happy to keep you informed of how it goes if that would be useful.
Did you understand from my earlier reply how much I absolutely love!!! this. Just as an absolute aside, did you know that when I was searching for a PhD supervisor several years ago (with no success) one o the people I spoke to was the head of Public Health at the University of Otago -- who'd done his research on smoking -- said he didn't know it (ACEs) was such a problem! Me? I'd worship the ground Prof Bellis walks on. I'll be in touch!!!
