In the UK, 17,000 deaths each year are a direct result of injuries. Annually, injuries lead to 720,000 hospital admissions and 6 million visits to emergency departments [1]. Victims of trauma receive care and attention from many individuals within a wide range of specialities and professional backgrounds. Without commonly agreed standards, patients&rsquo; outcome may be less than optimal.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; letter-spacing: 4.8pt; color: #cc3333; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Aim</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Trauma Care aims to improve the outcome of the trauma victim by establishing best practice throughout the <em>whole</em> chain of care.
