Scottish Trauma Network presents at Scottish Parliament

On Tuesday 26th January 2021, the Trauma Network Clinical Leads (both Regional and National) were invited to present at Scottish Parliament Health and Sport Committee. The MSPs asked a variety of questions about the Scottish Trauma Network including the challenges of providing a national network, the benefits and impact it will have on patients, the opening of the final two Major Trauma Centres and the pressures they are facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

We were delighted to hear the Leads speak about the benefits of improved communication across regional boundaries, and how this had already improved patient care. Many thanks to those who helped write the report to the committee, and the participated in the meeting on the 26th January
