Funded Activity Summary

The establishment of hospital trauma centres has improved survival for seriously-injured patients. However, there is still potential to improve the care of trauma patients following their discharge from hospital, particularly when they live outside big cities. This research will investigate the challenges faced by trauma patients in accessing follow-up care after they leave hospital, whether this influences their long-term recovery and what can be done to improve their care.
