MedTRiM (Medical Trauma and Resilience Training) is a pro-active, peer delivered resource for supporting those exposed to trauma in the workplace. MedTRiM addresses the legal, moral and ethical duty of care of the organisation by providing pre and post exposure support with minimal disruption. MedTRiM makes a difference through normalisation, education and mobilising social support. MedTRiM does not replace other clinical services but has been shown to sustainably make a difference.

Completed
In summary, this pilot has made it easier and more accessible for healthcare staff to access training that can support their wellbeing. It has also opened the door for a blending learning approach for trauma management when social distancing is no longer required. The pilot gave DNA Definitive the opportunity to create and test new online learning materials – providing a training resource to support the NHS of the future.
