Abstract
This paper explores a new approach to developing more trauma-informed, recovery-focused, and safer care within acute inpatient wards at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, in partnership with Imroc. This initiative aimed to empower and engage staff, encouraging them to work alongside the people they serve to drive meaningful change.
At Imroc, we believe that real transformation happens when values-based approaches are embedded within systems. This work was guided by the Imroc Acute Care briefing paper, which provided a structured framework for innovation. Through our Sharing Experiences papers, we aim to bring forward practical examples of how recovery-oriented approaches can be implemented within large systems, offering insights that inspire change beyond individual organisations.
