Facts and Figures

Bloomsbury Trust investigates the epidemiology and aetiology of facial trauma. Comprehensive data is essential for informing policy and measuring progress in all countries and individual regions

• Healthcare systems and public health agencies should investigate methods of all injury prevention
• Important for healthcare systems in every part of the world to ensure access to treatment resources

Data Capture

Data enables advocacy. AI for improved digital data technologies is required. Data collection and analysis are key for healthcare systems and public health agencies to understand and investigate methods of all injury prevention. They are also important for healthcare systems in every part of the world to understand where they are most concentrated geographically

Referral

Referral management has been effective in ensuring improved access, reducing inefficiencies & inequalities and better-quality patient care and outcomes in clinical medicine. An online referral management system can be used to offer the same benefits for patients presenting to healthcare who are experiencing domestic violence in directing them to an appropriate domestic violence agency for support

Community Engagement

Describing the wider community behaviours in terms of health systems to develop preventative and support strategies for those who experience facial trauma. Community engagement informs rational improvements in care, together with advances healthcare training and systems

 

Bloomsbury Trust recognises the importance of listening to the Unheard Voices. Providing local communities, a stronger voice in shaping research priorities

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence (DV) is a global public health problem, and healthcare professionals are in a good position to help victims and survivors. However, doctors, dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals have not in the past actively supported their patients who present with injuries or other signs that might have resulted from DV

 

The role of Medical, Dental, Nursing or other Healthcare Professionals is to Identify the cause of facial injury and report this. Those experiencing DV also require referral to the appropriate agencies for specialist DV support 

Diagnostic Solutions

Sophisticated diagnostics, such as CT scans, are routinely utilised in high resource healthcare systems but are not available globally. There is a need for clinical support in interpretation of both advanced imaging and also plain imaging as diagnosis of facial fracture may be missed or significantly delayed with both leading to devastating consequences for the patient


Bloomsbury Trust develops Artificial Intelligence for enhanced diagnostics, and predictive analytics to offer patients of the developing and the developed world better care!

Training
​

The role of Health Professionals has traditionally been to manage the physical facial injury alone but there is also a need for contribution to injury prevention by identification of aetiology and reporting

 

All healthcare professionals should benefit from the same high-quality training opportunities, no matter where they live, and this requires new transformative technology

​

Traditional education of healthcare providers in Domestic Violence (DV) issues has depended on face-to-face training. The Covid-19 pandemic taught us that we can do things differently

 

The Benefits of innovative educational technologies:

  • Improving access to quality assured education and training

  • Reducing time and costs of healthcare professionals providing training

  • Accelerating a global change in the practice of health professionals and their teams regarding identification and referral of their patients who present with physical injury or other signs that might indicate Domestic Violence (DV)

 

Bloomsbury Trust are developing bespoke training for Dental Professionals about Domestic Violence identification and referral to Domestic Abuse support services - DV Dent
