Trauma Centres across Australia and New Zealand are lucky enough to have developed dedicated Trauma Services that navigate, manage and provide care to hundreds of thousands of trauma patients each year. In this session, we want to learn about the various models for Trauma Services and why they work within their organisation, geographical location and patient population. This session will be fast paced with only brief ‘rapid-fire’ presentations, to largely focus on a facilitated discussion exploring various aspects identified, and how as the ANZTS Community we can use our shared experiences to support all Trauma Services in their quest to improve patient outcomes.
