Trauma Pain Support Ltd (TPS) is committed to aligning trauma-informed rehabilitation with recognised medical and rehabilitation standards.
Our professional memberships reflect an ongoing commitment to quality, ethics, and best practice in long-term recovery after traumatic injury, particularly Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs).
These affiliations connect TPS with clinicians, rehabilitation specialists, vocational rehabilitation networks, and policy discussions across the UK and beyond.

British Society of Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine (BSPRM)
Category: Member
The British Society of Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine brings together clinicians and professionals dedicated to improving rehabilitation outcomes for people living with disability and long-term conditions.

The Vocational Rehabilitation Association promotes high-quality vocational rehabilitation and work-focused recovery following injury, illness, or disability.

Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM)
Category: Professional Partner Member
SOM is the UK’s professional organisation for occupational health. Professional Partner Membership reflects TPS’s commitment to integrating trauma recovery with workplace health, supporting employers, HR teams and occupational health professionals to understand the long-term impact of traumatic injury and the importance of structured recovery and return-to-work planning.
UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF)
Category: Professional Member
UKABIF is a national charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with acquired brain injury through awareness, research, and better access to neurorehabilitation. TPS membership here reflects the reality that many RTA survivors live with subtle cognitive, emotional and fatigue-related consequences, and that long-term recovery must be informed by brain injury–aware practice.
What This Means for Clinics, Services, and Survivors
Through these affiliations, TPS:
- Stays connected to current rehabilitation and trauma research, guidance, and policy.
- Aligns programme design with recognised rehabilitation and vocational standards.
- Maintains access to specialist networks across medicine, rehabilitation, and return-to-work.
- Demonstrates external accountability and professionalism to clinics, commissioners, and funders.
For rehabilitation services, this means TPS can sit confidently alongside existing clinical care, complementing rather than competing with established pathways.
Framework & Research Foundations
TPS is built on the Trauma Recovery Pathway Program (TRPP), a structured framework for long-term trauma recovery published via the Open Science Framework (OSF).
This foundation, combined with our professional memberships, helps ensure TPS bridges the gap between lived experience, clinical guidance, and practical long-term rehabilitation.
