Project summary
This project delivers a multi modal package of research which builds on the findings of the successful EXIT project. This research aims to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with road trauma by rigorously considering the role of the bystander, including professional bystanders, in the post-collision phase of care.
Working with key stakeholders this project will further our understanding of the immediate post-collision phases of trauma, demonstrate the value of early triage and enable key interventions. Utilising evidence-based medicine will ensure the scientific validity of the findings and facilitate translation to impact: - ultimately resulting in a coherent, joined-up, supported strategy for the enablement of bystander and non-clinician care following road traffic trauma.
