Speaker: Dr Elaine Cole

‘Major trauma’ – significant physical injury to the body and its consequences - is one of the world’s biggest killers. Over the last two decades, management of major trauma patients has dramatically changed through systems re-organisation and clinical innovation.

Research discoveries into how patients respond to injury and understanding of what drives poor outcome have been translated into clinical systems. These changes have resulted in more people surviving severe injuries than ever before. It is a huge privilege to have been, and continue to be, involved in innovating trauma care and witnessing the improvements for major trauma patients.
