    Injury Prevention

    Injury prevention play an integral part of our clinical and aviation team’s work.

    Many members of our critical care team play an important part in promoting the national integration of injury prevention into NHS trauma systems: a topic which is high on our agenda.

    By actively supporting injury prevention, we can help save even more lives. In a modern-day society, engaging in injury prevention is not only expected of us, but also morally the right thing to do.

    Below are a number of projects that our team are involved with, which all play an instrumental part in helping to reduce the number of accidents or deaths within our local community.
