Redthread youth violence intervention programme

An introduction to a report on a joint project between Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (and the Major Trauma Centre it hosts), and national charities Redthread and the Health Foundation. Violent crime victims are often caught up in a lifestyle that's going to see them returning to Nottingham's emergency department over and over again, often with more and more serious injuries. It's not just a healthcare issue, it's also about law and order, safeguarding and social care.  But while we're treating their injuries, there's also a chance to break that repeated pattern. Nottingham University Hospitals sees a lot of victims of violence, partly because it's in a big city, but also because it hosts the Major Trauma Centre for the East Midlands region. We've been working with Redthread and the Health Foundation on how we can bring together healthcare, law and order, and social care, and we've just published a report on what we found. This report has been written independently under the guidance of The Health Foundation, an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.
