College training supports trauma care

Last year the quality of trauma care in the UK came under fire from the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD), in their report, Trauma: Who cares? The document restated the need for regional trauma systems that provide high-level trauma care. The College's view that care for injured patients must be organised on a networked basis to create a trauma system in each region certainly matches this recommendation.
