Trauma and emergency care supports studies that encompass a wide range of conditions which require prompt diagnosis and treatment in order for patients to have the best outcome.

The scope of trauma and emergency care spans across pre-hospital care, where patients are needing immediate medical attention from paramedics or swift treatment in an accident and emergency or trauma operating room hospital setting. Whilst the focus is on emergency care, there are also aspects of recovery and rehabilitation after a traumatic injury.

The trauma and emergency portfolio mainly comprises multi-centre clinical trials, investigating the ‘major trauma’ caused by road accidents, falls, burns, severe allergic reactions, respiratory distress, poisoning and musculoskeletal injuries.
