Co-design a research question exploring how Lifestyle Medicine interventions may improve the health outcomes of children in care through the development and evaluation of a trauma-informed, evidence-based intervention framework specifically designed for this vulnerable population

Funding

BNSSG ICB Research Capability Funding.

Who is Leading the Research

The research is led by Dr Saraswati Hosdurga, Consultant Community paediatrician, CCHP, Sirona care and health, Safeguarding Directorate, BNSSG ICB.

This topic has been developed from Dr Hosdurga’s Clinics for children in care at Sirona Care and Health where the first-hand experience led me to reflect the lack of healthy lifestyle in this set of children who are in care who also have experienced trauma leading to worsened mental health.
