Trauma and Emergency Care

Summary

We support and oversee research studies that encompass an extensive range of conditions which require prompt diagnosis and treatment if the patients are to have the best outcome. We support and promote research in the following areas:

Our research includes trials across multiple centres. We offer guidance on successful research in acute and trauma care settings, covering everything from prehospital care to rehabilitation.
