Senior Clinical Fellow - Trauma and Microsurgery

From March 26 2012, University Hospital in Coventry officially became a Major Trauma Centre (MTC). Major Trauma care is delivered through an inclusive Trauma Network delivery model. A Trauma Network includes all providers of trauma care, particularly: pre-hospital services, other hospitals receiving acute trauma admissions (Trauma Units), and rehabilitation services. The network has appropriate links to the social care and the voluntary/community sector. MTCs sit at the heart of Trauma Networks as the centres of excellence providing multi-specialty hospital care to seriously injured patients, optimised for the provision of trauma care. They are the focus of the Trauma Network and manage all types of trauma but specifically have the lead for managing candidate major trauma patients, providing consultant-level care and access to tertiary and specialised level services. Within the Trauma Network the MTC, Central England's Network covers Coventry and Warwickshire and parts of Northamptonshire. The Central England's adult Major Trauma Centre is the University Hospital in Coventry.
