How many people are likely to suffer a major trauma?

There are over a million attendances to Emergency Departments across Wales in a year and in 2016, the Welsh Ambulance Service attended approximately 800 emergency calls across Wales per day. The expected number of moderate and major trauma cases per year across the population of South Wales, West Wales and South Powys is 2,100, therefore, major trauma represents a small proportion of the emergency care workload.
