Benefits include:
- Improved survival rates
- Speedier recovery for patients
- Reduced disability
- Patients able to live more independently following their recovery
- More patients able to return to work and activities they enjoyed before being injured
- Specialist major trauma care available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
