Abstract
Early life adversity and trauma can have a huge impact on our long-term health. What can healthcare institutions and staff do to combat this? Healthcare institutions can improve community health including cross-sector working via integrated care systems (ICSs), but this can take time. However, in general practice, people consulting with primary care staff may have already encountered challenges in life that can negatively impact physical and mental health. This analysis looks at what can be practically done and the role of trauma- informed care (TIC) within general practice.
