A Consultant in Children’s Emergency Medicine is calling for trauma repair to be embedded directly into healthcare and mental health systems after her company achieved one of the highest first-time B Corp scores recorded in the UK.
Caramocare, founded by Dr Sharryn Gardner, has been certified by B Lab UK with a verified B Impact score of 163.9 — more than double the 80-point threshold required for certification.
The median B Corp score is approximately 50.9.
Caramocare delivers rapid trauma processing therapy for individuals and healthcare professionals, with a focus on medical harm, birth trauma, burnout and high-pressure clinical environments. The company also trains clinicians to integrate trauma-informed repair within existing healthcare settings.
Dr Gardner said:
“Healthcare systems are exceptionally good at saving lives. We’re not quite as good at repairing psychological harm quickly.
Trauma following medical events, birth complications, or high-pressure clinical work often lingers untreated, contributing to burnout, attrition and long-term distress.
It doesn’t have to. Trauma can be processed rapidly and safely. When we repair harm early, clinicians stay, mothers recover, and patients can live their lives fully again.”
Caramocare reports that currently over 80% of its sessions are delivered pro bono or subsidised. The company donates at least 2% of revenue, operates carbon-negatively, and has a legally embedded purpose alongside profit within its structure.
B Corp certification assesses governance, workers, community, environment, and customer impact across a company’s entire operations. The process requires documented evidence and legal accountability to stakeholders beyond shareholders.
Dr Gardner said:
“This score is not about a badge. It’s structural proof that healthcare businesses can be regenerative, clinically rigorous, and economically viable simultaneously.
If we’re serious about NHS workforce retention and maternal mental health, we need to move trauma repair from the margins into infrastructure.”
Caramocare is now seeking partnerships with NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations to pilot embedded rapid trauma intervention models.
Caramocare joins more than 2,600 UK B Corps and over 10,000 globally committed to using business as a force for good.
