Continuity in trauma recovery is often discussed as a clinical challenge a question of treatment duration, service availability, or follow-up care. In reality, continuity is fundamentally a governance issue. It concerns where accountability sits, how responsibility is transferred, and what remains visible once formal care concludes. When governance frameworks stop at discharge, continuity does notContinue reading “Continuity Is a Governance Issue, Not a Clinical One”

Discharge is frequently treated as an outcome, a line drawn under a period of clinical intervention. But for those navigating the realities of traumaContinue reading “Recovery Doesn’t End at Discharge – It Changes Form”
