Psychological input and pain management are often delivered in parallel or at different stages, rather than recognised as interacting components of post-acute recovery.

This premature transition creates a continuity gap within trauma pathways, exposing patients to avoidable clinical, psychological, and functional risks during a critical phase of recovery. These risks are notContinue reading “Addressing the Post-Acute Trauma Continuity Gap: A Systemic Challenge”
